Dear Mr. Shambles,

You deserve all of the troubles you have foisted upon yourself. I will send a copy of this rambling statement to the Westminster Council. For example:

We operate a small, weekly acoustic club in an unobtrusive underground venue.

HUMBUG!!!

It was a big move for us and we closed down for 6 weeks to put all our efforts into promoting it before our opening night. We cruised the London scene looking for talent, making sure we had a roster of acts that would impress our audiences and the international music scene for months. After a time we had people from all over the world and the U.K. hearing about us and emailing us with requests to perform from artists, management companies, agents, record labels, publishers, etc… Tall Poppy Presents was a success!

You are pleading the victum, when YOU are the victumizer. Simply obey the laws and pay the fees.
