Topley-Bird at Parliament

Martina Topley-Bird is playing a gig in the Houses Of Parliament to celebrate the passing of the Live Music Act (17th April). And this blogger will be there! The singer will appear on a bill that also includes Daytona Lights and MP4, a band comprising politicians. Ex-Suede man Bernard Butler is expected to be among the guests at the gig, which is being put on by industry body UK Music. The new live music law, which was passed in March, cuts red tape for pubs, small gig venues and nightclubs under 200 capacity or playing acoustic music wanting to put on gigs.
