The Musicians - Lawyers Group - Richard Bridge in particular, is doing stirling work on behalf of musicians - more to come.

But in the meantime, and I hate this legislation, but, many Pubs locally have applied for entertainment where they did not have it in the past - some say they need flexibility to keep trade alive in the face of cheap boose from Tesco etc and fear a smoking ban reduction.

Check that your local has done so. Time almost up.

Tesco meantime are applying for 24 hour drinking - goes down well with anti binge drinking.
