Economy and Society: Contribution of Music

Proceeding contribution from Mark Tami (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 January 2020. It occurred during Debate on Economy and Society: Contribution of Music.

Does my hon. Friend agree that it is important that we protect the music venues we still have? There are still far too many of them closing. Let me mention the Tivoli in Buckley, which is famous, particularly for a sad old punk like me

who has seen bands such as Stiff Little Fingers and Public Image Ltd there. It is good that we can still go and see such bands, but venues of that type are sometimes threatened by planning law, particularly where housing is built directly behind them or beside them and there are complaints about opening hours and so on. Ultimately, that can kill those venues.
