In 5.11 Page 47: Said juke box for background music - is not a licensable entertainment facility. Does it then become so if the volume is turned-up (as per 5.18?

5.13 Page 48: For example, stand - up comedy is not a licesable activity and musical accompaniment incidental to the main performance would not make it a licensable activity.

So this kind of music is always to be considered incidental and not a licensable actitity - however loud the volume!

Why the distinction - given the objects of the Act? If the stand - up comic sits down - does their chair become an entertainment facility?

So let us forget the concept of session being for music, let's call it a stand - up comedy night. You just get someone to stand-up and tell a few jokes and the music - no matter how loud is always incidental and not a licensable activity.

No wonder Punch and Judy people are pissed - off at being left out. What a joke!
