Naemanson, I thought I had posted something on this before but as I can't find it, I will post again.

I lived in Conwy, North Wales which is a tourist area for several years and we used to have sessions there with no problems.

One of the largest events in Conwy was the North Wales Bluegrass Festival which not only atrracted people from all parts of the UK but even visitors and acts from the US.

Every year before the event, warnings about prosecutions for breaches in the entertainment laws were issued and most of the pubs were to scared to have any playing that weekend.

Brilliant isn't it? A tourist town, lots of musicians around and hardly anywhere to play. Must work really well towards creating a nice friendly atmosphere wich would help encourage people back next year.
