How much help is this? For does it in fact it mean that any form of similar but secular music making - that cannot be stretched to qualify under this exemption will automatically be considered by them as licensable?

The words I have is that they have taken the view that there is a 'rebuttable presumption' that such gatherings qualify under the exemption in part 2. Para 9 to Schedule 1 of the Act.

I am sure that some legal person can explain what that phrase may mean.............
