The Coalition is committed to cutting Red Tape, to encourage live music and is keen to find the best way forward. A number of options are being considered and the Minister will make an announcement in due course. |

25 Oct 10 - 07:19 PM (#3015360) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: Leadfingers IF its perfectly safe for a bar full of people to get drunk watching a Football match , why is it NOT safe for the same bar to have a few people playing Music , without having to jump through a lot of Fire Escape , Emergency Lighting etc hoops ?? |

25 Oct 10 - 07:24 PM (#3015365) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: Betsy Hiya Ray (Padge) , I got the same Email - and it is a complex issue . Let's put it like this, the Government couldn't (and still can't)do F**k al about what Bankers did and do , and similarly the PRS move in strange ways - lets's hope a bit of common sense kicks in . I hope so, and Tootler don't hold your breath for too long !!!!. |

And Live Music will lose out AGAIN ! |

25 Oct 10 - 07:58 PM (#3015379) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: GUEST Fascinating Question....
<When did Music (western) begin to give notation in BARS?those verticle cross-lines.
What about tempo/metre....notation....could that also be a question????
Surely some muscial trad scholar can raise us to cheer...something above UK chips and beer?

26 Oct 10 - 08:50 AM (#3015705) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: Green Man When did the PRS have anything to do with music, they just want to line their won pockets. If gov have got their ears on they will have listened to the needs of the folk. On the other hand, they suffer from CGAF (not a tuning) when it comes to something that doesnt impact them personally. |

26 Oct 10 - 09:00 AM (#3015715) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: Manitas_at_home Wikipedia has: It was not until the 14th century that something like the present system of fixed note lengths arose. Starting in the 15th century, vertical bar lines were used to divide the staff into sections.These did not initially divide the music into measures (bars) of equal length (as most music then featured far fewer regular rhythmic patterns than in later periods), but appear to have been introduced as an aid to the eye for "lining up" notes on different staves that were to be played or sung at the same time.The use of regular measures (bars) became commonplace by the end of the 17th century. |

26 Oct 10 - 09:19 AM (#3015736) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: GUEST,The Shambles The current sad situation for live music in bars and elsewhere, is detailed by many examples in the following thread. It would seem that should anyone complain about anything, from the plumbing, seating or to the public vomiting outside or about entirely alcohol related problems, the end result is that live music is limited or prevented by our local authorities. However, the serving of alcohol continues. thread.cfm?threadid=126147&messages=744&page=1&desc=yes |

28 Oct 10 - 07:32 AM (#3017594) Subject: RE: Govt Uk Music in Bars From: Rob Naylor Manitas: Fiddles and accordions are more combustible than footie fans. I think we need a controlled trial of that. Fiddles are fairly similar in construction so a dozen broken ones would do for the trial. Footie fans cover a wide spectrum of sizes and shapes, so we'd probably need to burn several thousand of those to get a statistically significant result. |
