A senior councillor has stoked controversy by saying young people will be put at risk if the Government grants live-music licence exemptions for crowds up to 200.

Crowded: Cllr White fears crisis if exemptions go ahead

Local Government Assocication (LGA) chair for culture, tourism & sport Chris White also hit out at Live Music Forum members, saying they don't "know a lot about live music" and use "underhand, guerilla tactics to make personal attacks".

John King, musician and member of the Live Music Forum, called for White's resignation and labelled the LGA's support of live music restrictions "irrational".
