Welcome change of tune on live music restrictions
The removal of the cap on the number of people able to attend outdoor performances opens the way for festivals to take place this summer and indoor gigs will also be allowed, but with stricter regulations

But at last, the Executive has hit the right note by signalling that the sound of music can again fill the air from Monday. The removal of the cap on the number of people able to attend outdoor performances opens the way for festivals to take place this summer and indoor gigs will also be allowed, but with stricter regulations.
