John King comments:
Oldham Council like to tell licensed premises exactly what music they are allowed to play:

'The premises shall operate a music policy. Between 02:00 - 03:00 popular chart music shall be played and between 03:00 - 04:00 softer and quieter music will be ...played to assist with the winding down period'

Any other kind of music would be a criminal offence.


Details like this are business matters for the licensee to decide in the first place and for the customers to decide whether such a policy suits them. If such details do not suit, the customers can go elsewhere. In this case they may do this and the licensee can do is watch their business go down the drain. I would not go near a place with all these licensing conditions.
