Small pubs and venues will no longer have to jump through licensing hoops in order to host live music thanks to the proposed implementation of a new live music bill. Despite a few amendments, the government has backed the live music bill which should certainly be a key factor in helping new bands and artists develop their craft in smaller, local venues. Good news all round!
