The following comments from John King:

Another premises with a genre restriction, this time 'jazz duet with amplifier'. Live music is only allowed on Fridays and Saturdays, but any genre of recorded music is allowed seven days a week.

LACORS:... "councils are not against live music"


How can live music possibly survive when it is so totally placed in the hands of those with no understanding of its requirements. It would not be so bad if this approach was intentional but it is simply over-regulation for its own sake and careless - which is really far worse.

As these premises only have permission for a jazz duet with amplifier - a non - amplified jazz duet or any other type of live music will be a breach of the Premises Licence. For which the licensee faces a £20,000 fine or 6 months in prison..........
