Correction from Hamish

My apologies. A further check with DCMS necessitates the following correction:

Pubs and bars would qualify for the suspension of any licensing authority imposed condition which relates to the provision of music entertainment if they provide solely unamplified live music between 8am and midnight and the premises is not being used for the provision of any other description of regulated entertainment. The premises must also meet the other criteria: max 200 permitted capacity, and their premises licence already authorises the provision of 'music entertainment'.

The use of any amplification at all for instruments or vocals would disapply this broad concession, requiring public safety and crime and disorder conditions to have effect. However, the amplification used for the bar's jukebox, televisions (wide screen or conventional) is, of course, exempt in any event.
