Some questions to ask your MP.

There is a local Scottish Country Dance club locally that practices in a school. Will it be able to use a recorded music without a license?

The answer is yes.

Can that same group use an paid accordion player?

The answer is NO. Ask why there is a difference.

If they say "no audience" ask how many people constitute an audience.

Ask why if as Howells claims the bill is deregulatory then ask why is a piano in a pub that is open and able to be played then the pub will need a licence.........if it is locked and decorative it wont need a licence.

Ask about the Japanese drummers (a quote of Howells) and why it is thought they make more noise in a pub than outside a pub. (Since busking is legal).

I have loads more of these.............anyone want any?
