Well the minister's statement makes fascinating readong. It seems fairly clear he says jamming is OK...though there is nothing in the legislation to support his view, as far as I can see. What is vaguer is exactly what he means by jamming. When I was a lad, jamming met playing in an improvisatory style, as opposed to using an arrangement(written or head). And there was a possible implication that the muscians jamming together were not part of a regular group.(Though a formal group could jam as well, so it's rather confusing). But what exactly did the minister mean? It would be useful to try to get a definition out of him. I would guess he means muscians playing together for fun. But what if the pub adverises "acoustic jam session"? I dont believe he is saying that is perfectly legal, because that position is obviously completely illegal under the new law. So what did he mean, exactly?
