Cheers Howard - I will clarify with EFDSS, because I would like to go down that route if possible.

More and more halls and venues are insisting on bands and event organisers providing their own PLI - I've known bookers not confirm until they've seen a copy of our PLI certificate, which is why I'm keen to get this sorted. It is a pain, but it's a symptom of the compensation culture that the ambulance chasers have helped create, and I certainly don't blame C#H for going down that route to limit their own liability.
