The real thread under this title seems broken (well, I can't get beyond about the 6th message so I can't post to it).

The enquirer needs to look at the recent discussion of this on uk.music.folk, which includes the 'best' statement of the law you are likely to find.

However at the end of the day the matter is between the Licensing Authority and the Publican (or owner/manager) of the venue . . If you can't persuade the Authority that your use is within the law then the Publican is unlikely to risk prosecution on your behalf . .

And no, the "members only" ruse doesn't always work . . Nor does any other one.

Ask Ruth Bramley of Ely Folk Club about this one . . but only if you're prepared to buy her several large drinks afterwards . .
