Good - does that mean no more 'sign this petition' against noise reduction because it really started to bore me.

You can sign it if you want but it's a waste of everyone's time. Apaprently local councils have been abusing their position and making pubs have them installed illegaly too, knowing the venue wouldn't be able to afford to challenge them in court! If you are a venue and this has happened then you are probably better to start a petition to that effect and stop this abuse of position happening. As for the rest of us......TURN THE FOOKERS UP THIS WEEKEND AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Only the scavangers will come to see us mate, it's £6 on the door and that will put off many of buck's regulars plus we played there NY eve so you'll be ok.

But was it the 64,000 signatures that brought about this denial? Guess we will never know. When this was brought to my attention there were only 300 people signed up.
I for one am really pleased there is no apparent truth to the rumour, but it wasn't about noise it was a supposed link to Binge Drinking, the governments favourite campaign, (apart from sending the country into bankrupcy).
There is however a caveat in the statement.
"A spokesperson for the Department Of Media, Culture And Sport told NME.COM, that while they were unable to speak for the government as a whole, there is currently "no universal plan to fit noise control devices, or any plans at all to fit them in the way described"

well if they do try to impliment noise limiters legaly, you can call this a reahersal of objection. and we will double the
64,0000 next time. power to the bands.
