Vince Power, organiser of the Hop Farm festival, has been banned from staging live music in public in a High Court judgement.
The BBC reports that the decision follows a claim from the Performing Rights Society for Music (PRS) that Power did not have the correct licence in place for events between 2009 and 2012. He did not offer a defence.
Power’s ban will be enforced until he updates his licence, while the promoter has also been ordered to pay £7,987 in costs.
It should be noted that the Hop Farm Music Festival, which was staged this year and featured sets from Ray Davies and Brian Wilson, is a separate entity.
