Under the Music and Dancing (Control) Act, Christmas Day and Good Friday are now the only two days of the year during which premises with music and dancing licences are not allowed to play music or have a singer or live band play. On Sundays licensed premises must only play music at a “low background nature” which is not capable of being heard outside the boundaries of the premises in which it is being played.
