Shambles: I don't see how each "indvidual council" could come up with any real differences in interpretation there, except for one silly one: The restriction says two "performers," and that trumps arguments over instruments. You could have two people all geared up with Bass drums on their backs and cymbals on their toes, etc; singing in unison, and they could alternate each song with recorded music, but no karaoke machines could ever be used with anyone singing along.

The only way I can see that you reached your conclusion ("word music did not necessarily mean singing"), is if there was a typo: You meant to write: "only one of which" when you actually wrote "only which."

Anyway, have you resolved this with those authorites since this thread started?
