The head of Blue Note Jazz Club claims that stringent licensing regulations are stifling the music scene after their request for a late-night license was denied.
Blue Note Jazz Club boss says restrictive licensing laws are killing music after late licence refused

It’s frustrating to hear that restrictive licensing laws are hindering the vibrant music scene, especially for iconic venues like Blue Note Jazz Club. Music is such an essential part of cultural expression and community, and it’s unfortunate when regulations stifle it. Late licenses can provide artists with the opportunity to reach audiences in an intimate setting, and denying them only limits creativity and opportunities for both performers and attendees. Hopefully, this will spark renewed discussions about how we can create a more supportive environment for live music and the arts. What are everyone’s thoughts on potential solutions to this issue?
