We have only just been informed by the landlord of the The Tudor Barn that he does not have an entertainments license. The infamous Greenwich Council entertainments "police" spoke to him the previous week and advised him that all his music "clubs" must have their membership systems up to date.

The Wednesday Folk Night is run by "Folkmob" who are currently updating and checking all their membership records. This should not cause any problems if all (or at least most) of the performers and audience are registered as members (no charge) at least 48 hours prior to Wednesday night.

Therefore could anyone wishing to go, please PM me their Name and Address before midday Sunday and I will arrange for membership cards to be waiting for them on Wednesday night.

Any extra people may be signed in by current members (up to six each).

I'm sorry about this - I had assumed that the building already had a license as the freehold is owned by the council and licensed for Weddings and all sorts of things. Evidently it would be almost impossible to get a PEL because the modifications would not be allowed as the building is a listed structure !

Just one more illustration of how stupid the entertainment licensing laws are.
