It would be interesting to find out which Folk Clubs / sessions / singarounds are fortunate to be operating where the licencee / Village Hall / Church etc have managed to get their new licence.

There is so much negative talk. Lets look positively at people who are moving forward.

I have spoken with the village hall today where I run Market Rasen Folk Club, and was informed that the new licence had been granted.

How many organisers know for definate that they are OK?

Licences? But surely folk clubs are a hotbed of evil and sedition, seedy, dank corners where the lowlife of society gathers, 5th columnists one and all.....

There was an article in today's Telegraph about the new licences.

They'll come into force from November.

BTW you have to log on to Telegraph to see story.


But in brief, its about local councils interpreting govt guidelines in many diverse ways, causing much confusion & unfair practice.

This legislation, like lots by this & previous govt's is a further example of consistent inconsistency!!

I had the same problem Richard.

Thanks for your advice. Things seem to be OK now.
