The DCMS announce their Creative Economy Programme website (and discussion area).

Can I suggest that people look for an appropriate part of the website and make suggestions regarding the development of unamplified music? Richard Bridge has already done this. I´ll try and do it in the next day or two.

It might also be worth reminding the government that the Licensing Act does not apply to Scotland.

The government has previously claimed that it made no discrimination between unamplified and amplified music, but here in the letters below there is clear evidence that it does.
