Subject: RE: UK TV Cove Session/The Shambles
Well one thing that is clear is that he's got himself focussed in on the business of licensed premises, and completely ignores the fact that the law as it stands appears to see it as illegal for even one person to sing a song or play an instrument in a coffee bar, library, bookshop or village green etc, unless a PEL has been obtained.

And what does he propose to do about this blatant intrusion on our fundamental human rights, to bring us into line with normal civilised practice in other countries in the European Union, where this kind of restriction would rightly be recognised as unconstitutional? (Or Scotland, which I would imagine he regards as part of "this country").
