I wasn't really taking a stance on it or anything.

What we need in this country is a change in the licencing laws, to make it easier to put bands on, to encourage people away from the TV and into the pubs.

In my experience, most local bands are terrible and there's a reason why no one cares for them. That's just in my experience though, I'm well aware there will always be hidden gems away in the live scene. I agree with the licensing thing and I also would like it if venues didn't put on strictly 18+ shows. I've missed many of my favourite bands due to this.
