The British Government have recently passed laws in the UK (applicable to England and Wales) to try to suppress live music and dance. Pubs which could previously offer work to solo singers or duos now have to pay for a special licence and can only have 12 of these per year. Even school Xmas concerts now need to be licensed.

The petition closing date is 11/06/07, but it needs to do much better to make an impression on ministers and to encourage DCMS to implement music-friendly amendments. The petition is for everyone, not just musicians so please consider signing if you haven't already done so. If you have signed, encourage friends to sign."

You can sign the petition via this link:

Post this anywhere you go on the web. It's very important to get the numbers on this petition up. Even if you're not in England, please, please repost so that any friends you have in the UK can get this. It's vital!
