Thread Name: PEL : MPs' replies to your e-mails
Subject: RE: PEL : MPs' replies to your e-mails
I sent an email to my MP, Jane Griffiths, this morning (Thursday 9th)concerning the Backbenchers/Kim Howells meeting at lunchtime and give her her due she responded almost immediately to say that she would do her best to attend the meeting but she also said, and I quote; 'I would say however that the provisions in the Bill should make it cheaper and easier for pubs and other premises to have live music, amplified or not, with any number of musicians'.
I'm not sure how she has worked that out but hopefully she will learn otherwise at the meeting...
Ian C: I didn't see this thread as being particularly music and not dance or mumming, at the end of the day we're all in the same boat.
Fiddler: Why should Churches and Church goers get rights not allowed the more secular of us?
Vectis: I agree that all accoustic music should be exempt, particularly when, in Folk, what we mostly do is entertain ourselves, I regard the right to make sing and music as a basic Human Right - how dare they try and make it illegal?!
