I've seen a lot on the site over the past 12 months or so regarding the legislation on performers in pubs/music licenses etc and not really got to grips with the nitty-gritty of it. Seeing that I run a long standing folk club this is a bit remiss of me I know, but there we go! However, the club I run is held in a local cricket club, which is otherwise unused except for match days in summer and the occasional private function. It's a PRIVATE MEMBER'S CLUB (with bar)and all us regular folkies have been required to join it to comply with the law on such places,cos it's not officially a PUBLIC facility. Can any of you helpful and genned up folk out there give me a short(ish) answer as to whether this place will still come under the same legislation as the normal public house with regard to music and performances etc, or be exempt because of our private member status.
