Thread Name: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Subject: RE: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Have I got this right?
A stand-up comic's performance is not licensable regulated entertainment. Live or recorded amplified or non-amplified music at any volume, as part of stand-up comic's performance will be exempt because this would be always be considered as incidental to this performance?
Morris dancing performance is exempt. Non-amplified live music which is part of this performance is also exempt because this would be considered as integral to this performance (presumably recorded music used for Morris dancing - will be regulated entertainment as one can hardly claim it to be incidental)?
So the same live amplified or non-amplified music played entirely for fun - WILL be licensable - because it is not taking place as INCIDENTAL to a non-licensable performance of stand-up and it is not taking place as an INTEGRAL part of an exempt performance of Morris dancing............
In addition to all this - can someone explain what, how and when music and dancing is 'spontaneous' and not to be considered as regulated entertainment - re 5.19 Page 50.
Can someone also tell me what all this madness has to do with the four objectives of the Licensing Act 2003 - like protecting children from harm?
