John King comments: One of the review's objectives is 'how best to offer quality live music experiences to all young people'.
In many areas it is no longer possible for school leavers to find full-time work in live music due to licensing restrictions. For example, in Three Rivers, only ...17% of the council's 188 licensed premises have any live music authorisation.
Live music is prohibited in ALL restaurants, shops and public spaces, and in the remaining handful of premises with live music authorisation, there are further bans on amplification, the regularity of live music events, and in one case even a ban on under 18s listening to live music.
