NOISE LIMITERS
It has been brought to our attention that new noise legislation is
about to be introduced
that is likely to virtually destroy live music in the UK.

The government wish to consider it a legal requirement in the new tax
year to introduce
laws insisting anyone applying or reapplying for an entertainment
licence must have a
noise control device fitted to the venue.

This will be the final nail in the coffin for pretty much ALL
entertainment in the UK as
the level at which these devices cut the power off is ridiculously
low. In our experience
any venue that has one in use cannot have any electric music as the
power is constantly
being cut mid-song - and even loud applause at the end of a song can
cut it. Venues are
suffering enough as it is without being forced to go to the expense of
fitting one of these
damned things. Noise limiters are a menace to live music, and we
expect this is the bright
idea of some unelected suit in Brussels that's never been to a gig in
their life.

Bloody politicians - why can't they all just sod off and let us lead
our lives?
