John King comments:
Licensing Minister John Penrose described music licensing as 'mostly bonkers red tape, and it's time we consigned it to the bin.' LGA 'Culture' Spokesman Chris White described licensing as 'common sense legislation'. In St Albans, where White is on the Licensing Committee, five premises have restrictions on the genre of music live musicians are allowed to perform. All of these premises are allowed DJ's who can play whatever music they like.
