The problem is that there is not a nice neat division betwen participation and entertainment. That is what makes the law (and the proposed changes) such a dog's breakfast.

There also is no definition of what a performer is or is not. And no rational reason why a performer's activities should be subject to any restrictions. This is not the case in Scotland, which has the same safety legislation, so please tell me why it should here?

Perhaps Graham you would like to propose a non obsolete definition of what licensee will have to detail well in advance in an operating plan, One that would not include in this, non musical 'entertainments' like live TV sports events?
