Live music red tape likely to be relaxed

Live music red tape likely to be relaxed

Paul McCartney plays at the Cavern Club The bill affects venues with a capacity of fewer than 200 people, such as Liverpool's Cavern Club

Legislation which will make it easier for small venues to host live music has been cleared in the House of Commons.  The private member's bill, introduced by Liberal Democrat Don Foster, will lift some of the bureaucracy imposed on gigs by the 2003 Licensing Act.
It means many venues will no longer need to pay for a licence to host live music between 08:00 and 23:00.
