  • The Publican – Government dashes pubs' hopes on live music
    MPs recommendations to re-instate "two-in-a-bar" rule and exempt small venues from needing live music licence rejected

    The government has rejected the idea of re-introducing the “two-in-a-bar” rule for pubs hosting live music, but claims it is committed to reducing “unnecessary bureaucracy” around the Licensing Act.

    And hopes that pubs with a capacity of 200 or less would be exempt from needing a licence for music in future have also been dashed.

    The announcement came from Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw yesterday, who presented the government’s response to 26 recommendations made by MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport committee relating to the Licensing Act.

    In the response on live music, the report states: “There is no direct link between size of audience or number of performers and potential for noise nuisance or disorder.”

  • Rock Werchter :: Festival Belgium
    CHANGING TIMES, PASSION, DESIRE AND AN OVERDOSE OF LUCK. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE ELEMENTS THAT HAVE TURNED ROCK WERCHTER INTO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND – ACCORDING TO ITS COLLEAGUES – BEST FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD. THE CONCISE HISTORY OF A FESTIVAL BETWEEN 1975 AND 2006.
    in 1967, a so-called beat happening was organised. Long before Woodstock in the United States and Isle Of Wight in Great-Britain. At its height in 1978, Jazz Bilzen, back then a four-day festival, drew 15,000 festival-goers on its main day. Three years later, only 6,000 people showed up and the festival folded. In 1981 in Torhout and Werchter, about 20,000 and 27,000 spectators showed up. Things really ‘exploded’ in Werchter in 1982, when about 40,000 people were standing at the festival gates. What was a-happening?
