Arts minister Estelle Morris has for the first time invited the British music industry to give its opinion on what the government can do to help strengthen the provision of live entertainment in the UK.
The consultation will be led by the Live Music Forum, a body created by the DCMS last year to promote live performance and to monitor the impact of the new Licensing Act on the industry.
Over 12 weeks the group will collate comments from a wide range of industry figures and present the findings along with a series of recommendations in a report that will be submitted to the government in 2006. [more @ www.thestage.co.uk]
