This is from and on behalf of Moorland Folk
"Bands like us have a problem in that we can't play live in many venues unless they comply with difficult and expensive restrictive legislation. This legislation threatens to kill off live music."
You can help by signing an on-line petition at the Downing St Website (more details below),
it's quick and easy and will help live music in the future,

The Petition
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to recognise that music and dance should not be restricted by burdensome licensing regulations.
The recently introduced changes in licensing law have produced an environment where music and dance, activities which should be valued and promoted in a civilised society, are instead damaged by inappropriate regulation. We call on the Prime Minister to recognise this situation and take steps to correct it.
