The Live Music Bill has become law. This is a great milestone and the culmination of nineteen years of campaigning by us. Thank you to all the people who have contacted us through this website and contributed in their individual way. Thanks also to the original committee of the Live Music Forum (Jez Gillett, Jackie Pentecost, Martin Richter and John Ballard) who spent the 1990's publishing and spreading the message of the live music campaign, building up an awareness in the public and sowing the seeds of license reform.

The Live Music Forum AchievementsThe LMF is responsible for the Live Music Events petition, which received 16,949 signatures. The LMF exposed the DCMS Statistics scandal. The LMF played a large part in bringing about the Labour U-turn on licensing. The LMF networked with live music campaigners in Australia and introduced the idea of a small gigs exemption to the UK. The LMF secured a statement from the Police that they do not, in principle, associate live music with public disorder. The LMF are responsible for calling to account the LGA over discriminative practice against live music. The LMF established there is no evidence to support an association between live music and public disorder. The LMF are providing evidence of damage caused to small venues and festivals by the Licensing Act 2003. The LMF has consistently campaigned for musicians rights and fairer wages. |
