Outlines the ways in which government can promote live music: examines rehearsal rooms, venues and use planning issues. Recommendations include:

• A DCMS funded web based database of venues
• Greater co-operation with student unions to re-establish the student union network of live music promotion
• Financial support for small venues
• Recognition of the cultural and social value of music in planning considerations
• Formation of a new ‘Planning Use Class’ (e.g: creative space) within which rehearsal and music spaces would reside
