Actually a "narrow drinkers view" is the reverse of what I'm concerned with here. I like playing and listening in pubs, true - but I also like the idea of live music in other venues. All kinds of other venues - not just cafés and thetres which might have to have some kind of licence anyway, but places that don't currently and never have had.

I want live music where people who are too young to drink can come, and where older people who aren't into drinking - Muslims, Mormons and so forth, for example, can feel at home. And I want to see music happening in the places where we live without feeling we have to look over our shoulder, because its hapening as a public event in some sense.

There's been so much focus on the pub side of it, because that is what the Bill was primarily about, that this side of it has consistently been pushed aside.
