More Underaged Gigs For Victoria

Discussions by the Live Music Roundtable, set up last year by Victoria’s state government to address live music concerns, led to new legislation to make it easier to run underaged and mixed-aged shows.

From 2014 these no longer have to battle red tape to get approval.

They merely have to notify authorities seven days before.

Promoter/booker Richard Moffat will hold underage shows at his Corner Hotel and Northcote Social Club.

“I can’t begin to express how happy I am to know Melbourne venues will once again be hosting delicensed all-ages shows. It is what I grew up with in the ’80s and the main reason I now work with so many musicians I have admired and loved,” he said.
