This may or may not be a good idea (after playing and supping for 4 hours it makes sense to us)

We are contacting our local councils and asking them their stand on and implementation in regards to the new licence and its effect on live music e.g. acoustic and amplified sessions, amplified Morris accompaniment to Morris (and similar traditional) dance, Busking, open air music and charity collection, etc.

If they reply we will be putting their reply verbatim, on the Fylde Folk Forum web site, for reference, if everyone did the same in their areas, we would all have a better idea what we can do all over the country (I'm sure a thread could be dedicated to it here on Mudcat likewise on the Fylde Folk Forum) or even a website set up just for this purpose.

Let's get it all in writing, it doesn't matter what is said by the likes of James Purnell, and Kim Howell on air as they either don't know what they are talking about or just lie.

just a thought,

PB
