The government have announced plans to exempt small music venues from the Licensing 2003 Act. If the proposal goes through, live music performances for under 100 people would no longer need a licence.
This is good news for musicians, as it would undoubtedly make it easier for event organisers to put on live music, so opportunities to perform in front of a live audience would hopefully increase as a result.
Here’s the link to the proposal on the DCMS website: http://www.culture.gov.uk/reference_library/consultations/6499.aspx
