The following From Hamish Birchall http://www.livemusicforum.co.uk/

The petition calling on the prime minister to implement new Licensing Act 
exemptions for live music passed the 10,000 signature mark over the weekend:
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/livemusicevents/

This puts it at 15th in the list of over 4,400 petitions on the Number 10 
site.

While encouraging, many more signatures are needed to make a real impact on 
politicians and the media.  If you haven't already signed please consider 
signing now, and pass the link to others who may be interested.

Thank you.
