Iriabor Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Je viens de recevoir un appel à pétition du groupe Marillion (ça dira qqch aux fans de prog ici présents, nouvel album Somewhere Else dans les bacs dans qq semaines) : Hello everyone, Mark here.This dropped into my inbox today and I felt strongly enough about it to go to the Number 10 website and register my vote! Briefly, our wonderful government (UK) has recently passed legislation that has put more restriction on the performance of live music everywhere from pubs to schools. Marillion started off playing pubs twenty mumble years ago and there are now fewer places for up-and-coming bands to play than ever. This is just another nail in the coffin of live music in this country. Please take a look at the petition and sign it if you live in the UK. It takes about 10 seconds. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/licensing/ The live music/licensing e-petition now has 33,460 signatures. It currently stands at No.5 in the list of 4210 petitions on the Number 10 website. Let's get it to No.1 (…) Thanks again for your support and we'll see you on tour - a new date has just been added and tickets are selling fast (a few shows have even sold out already). Come and say hello and I'll buy you a drink (I'm the bald one at the back) Mark (…) ———————————————- Marillion & Racket Records eWeb Newsletter www.marillion.com/news Le côté énervant : il faut être anglais pour signer la pétition Le côté rassurant : il n'y a vraiment pas qu'en France que ça va mal.
h16 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 J'attends avec tristesse la prochaine loi sur les pubs dans les concerts… Fini le sponsoring de Coca pour les rockers !
