(Or it could be that concerts organised by councils themselves have been affected) I've no idea how truthful the whispers are though.<BR/><BR/>Your right that it would be hard for the scheme to be enforced, although I still suspect that some venues might decide to take the easiest option, and not bother with live music at all. <BR/><BR/>I'm not certain what stage the legislation is at. <BR/><BR/>I'm enjoying your Blog by the way.Robert Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127785356900970446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979471356591092419.post-36582785166566999262008-12-07T07:27:00.000-08:002008-12-07T07:27:00.000-08:00I've been trying to find a bit more information on...I've been trying to find a bit more information on this, as the Indy article was outrage heavy and fact light.<BR/><BR/>As with everything it'd have to go through Parliement to become a legal requirement. As far as I understand that's not happed and is not going to happen. It's a completely un-enforcable piece of legislation too.<BR/><BR/>Currently it seems The Met are asking for it voluntarily as part of the risk assessment for larger gigs (but remember - it's up to you to decide how best to manage risk at your night, not the Met)<BR/><BR/>Doesn't mean its not a vile bit of paper though which should be outed for the piece of rubbish it is though.dunchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183841909040015788noreply@blogger.com
