If persuading licensees in the first place, that a session is exempt as incidental live music and not a matter for our licensing officers, is seen to be a problem - how on earth are you supposed to convince them that a mumming play staged on their premises, is not a matter for our licensing officers?

Especially when the words of Schedule 1 of the Act, (above) clearly state that the performance of a play is a regulated entertainment.........
