Fair – I suspect that wasn’t due to the Temporary Event Notice that was required under the terms of the 2003 act. The complexity of the act has led, inevitably, to differing interpretations,


creating a minefield for touring productions. What’s fine in one venue is banned under the licensing conditions of another. It’s far more difficult to misinterpret deregulation. There will be issues; some have already questioned the wisdom of


deregulation for events of up to 5000 capacity. The consultation does outline certain protections, as well as existing legislation that comes into play when organising events that size. That’s why there’s a consultation that seeks views from as much of the industry as possible, some may have a view on the size of events to be deregulated, the consultation talks of the possibility of different limits for indoor and outdoor events. We mustn’t kid ourselves though; consultations can always be looked at as proposals, or even lists of intended actions but, this consultation is seen by most as a huge step in the right direction, it is well worth a read and comments are encouraged. The content of the consultation has been derived from years of lobbying effort by the members of UK Music as well as the efforts of people in Parliament like Lord Clement-Jones.
