YPI tribute band festival

John Fareham and John Abbott understand that the YPI grounds will be the venue for a tribute-band rock festival on the afternoon and evening of Saturday 17^th August if a licensing application submitted to the Council is approved.

A licensing application has been submitted by a company called Fake Festivals, who have already organised events involving tribute bands in other locations including Driffield.  This asks for permission to set up marquees, allow dancing and permit the sale of alcohol, on the date of the event only, from noon until midnight.  Such one-shot licensing applications are common practice for special events and the applicants, who propose to hold this event on an annual basis, have undertaken to give the Council, in its capacity as the licensing authority, three months’ notice of their intention to repeat the process.
