The difference now is Playing to Performance. Its is bit subtle and may be around the question of playing to the audience - a performance - and playing for yourself - playing.

If so sessions maybe ok. One reading of Howells idiotic comments is that "Iam important and get taken out to freebies in posh restaurants which have jazz "in the corner". I like this and want it to continue hence music which is "incidental" being exempt. Its a vague sort of word. Howells had a "pop" at its definition - not advertised, not too loud to become the main event etc. Stuff that sounds alright but its not Howells who will do the testing.

There is likely to be a mjaor cabinet re-shuffle in Jule, July. Suggestions for Howells on a postcard please to Tony..
