World Cup music event cancelled

Published Date: 10 June 2010
A LIVE music event which was due to take place over the weekend has been cancelled.

Nine bands due to perform at The Hamilton Russell Arms, in Thorpe Thewles, near Wolviston, this weekend – as part of a World Cup beer festival – have been cancelled after a problem with the temporary entertainment licence.

Bosses have said all other aspects of the festival will go ahead as planned, with the England v USA game shown live on a big screen on Saturday.

People who have already bought tickets have the choice of £2 off on arrival or another pint of beer on top of the one they already get free with the ticket.


Can anyone explain the logic involved here? The music is prevented but the TV sport event (the showing of which does not require any form of Entertainment Licensing) can proceed!!!
