Let the music play!
While there has been some negative press of late regarding the pace
at which small bars have opened in NSW (to which we say yes we'd like

compared to 25 years under the old regime)

outcomes of the recent legislation changes. It focusses more on the
exciting increase in venues providing live music and the subsequent
(nascent) resurgence of the scene.
