Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes relate to the Live Music Act 2012, which received Royal Assent on 8th March 2012. They have been prepared by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The Notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a clause or part of a clause does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
