Thread Name: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Subject: RE: Licensing Bill - How will it work ?
Rapper Ok, so long as you don't use amplifiers - assuming it is Morris or of a similar nature, which I think it is.

Mumming, sorry, that's drama. No exemptions.

Acoustic waiver of conditions. Probably useless. You see if you want to benefitn from this relaxation, there has to be a music licenec first. Now we know there is only one licence - that's a large art ofthe oint of the Act. So when you apply for your booze licence, you tick box for one to cover regulated entertainment too. You have to file an operating plan. If it says "No music with amplifiers" (which would also mean no jukebox) that may be one thing. But if you say no live music etc, then the LA may say "NO licence until you put in (etc)". Or it may say "You can sell beer but you can't have any music until (etc)". If the former, all of the capital condition have to be satisfied before you can sell beer. So the landlord has to pay up. If the latter, the relaxation works.

Geddit?
