My parents live next door to a pub, in a small village, and on Sunday evening the pub had a band sitting outside at the boundary wall blaring away for 3 hours. Drums, electric guitars, speakers, the works. I live half a mile away and could hear it perfectly whether I wanted to or not! Thankfully on the night my dad was working a night shift and my mam was out visiting but if they had been at home they wouldnt have heard themselves think with the racket. Does anybody know if the pub is allowed to have a band playing in their back yard or is there a special licence needed for such an outdoor event? They have tried complaining to the landlord in the past but it's falling on deaf ears.
