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 re-applying 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....
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE:

noise, by aspyhole on Jan 22, 2009 13:26:46 GMT 1, Yep, no such thing! The guy who started the petition said he "heard a rumour about it" and also "forgot where [he] heard it"! It has been declared by the relevant people that there is no such plan and neither are there any plans to impose such a plan!

In all honesty do you really think this was legitimate? There are cases where individual local authorities have insisted limiters are fitted, but this is chiefly to pacify nearby residents, not the audience. And any venue that has had these fitted have had them removed because they are unworkable. This story is another load of bollocks, an urban myth. Despite what you may think, Governments have got other more important things to deal with than this.
