Wow... there are still people out there who know nothing of this 2 in a bar rule... I had someone (who should know better) asking me about it only this week.....

Will try and get to one of those events. Taking Bratling to the 27th one is probably useless, she couldn't remain silent for longer than 3 mins if her life depended on it!

I for one am looking forward to seeing the remote controlled talking dragon, although if it is red Welsh one, it is probably Kim Kowells

In addition to the above.

Save Live Music

The proposasls for the new licensing legislation will result in the curbing of live music in public places. Whatever music you play, promote or enjoy, legislation contained in the new licensing bill will put it severely at risk

Add your voice to those opposing the legislation by attending the public meeting

When? 1pm, 6 January 2003

Where? Union Chapel, Compton Terrace, Islington, London N1 (Nearest Tube: Highbury & Islington)

Speakers to be announced

Maybe it would be nice if different groups could dress as the kind of performer who would be affected. Say a group as Mummers, a group as Morris (and Clog, and any other sort of) Dancers, bellringers (how would they dress?), choirs, marching bands and so on.

Or has this already been organised?

Any kind of performer who would be affected. What about the guy who had a remote-controlled talking dragon in Basingstoke mall yesterday?

You'd get a lot more people on a weekend or evening.

To illustrate the apalling impact that the Government's Licensing Bill will
have on live and community music-making. Bring your instrument (AND A GAG -
medical-type mouth-coverings work well), but don't play it. Contact:
