That may be my fault McGrath as I explained my own situation, the problem of playing at sesions in pubs
Though if you explain the wider situation it may be that a different minister altogether is responsible
I just feel like I am banging my head against a very dense brick wall. At the sessions I have been to, the landlord does not object to our playing, there are no noise or safety problems and I don't see as we could be classed as entertainment as we don't attract an audience - any people already in the pub usually talk louder than our playing anyway. The real problem is that I can't take my MP along to show him what a session is, as I would probably be barred by the landlord and hated by the other musicians if the local council dug their heels in like Weymouth have done
Common Sense seems to have no place in making legislation or applying it
