End of twitter postBar has live music licence withdrawnpublished at 09:46 British Summer Time 20 June 2018
Amy Orton
Local Democracy ReporterA bar has had its live music licence withdrawn by the council after complaints about loud performances of tracks by AC/DC, the Sex Pistols and The Jam.
A Leicester City Council report says the team heard the noise nuisance on five different occasions over the course of seven months.
Councillors approved environmental health officers' recommendation to withdraw the bar's licence following noise complaints from neighbours.
Image source, GoogleTom Hodgson, bar manager at Pi, on Narborough Road, said he will now look for a new venue out of the city.
Mr Hodgson said: "Will I renew my licence? I won't, because all I have ever wanted to do is run a live music venue.
"Loud music is a dark art, sometimes you expect lots of people and have three or four turn up, other times it's the other way round.
"We've never had any complaints before and we're in a heavily residential area so we must have been doing something right."

BBC NewsA kitten had its leg amputated after it was caught in a suspected animal trap in Long Eaton.
Eight-month-old Goose went out in the garden on Sunday morning but shortly afterwards he came in with a "severe leg injury".
Image source, RSPCAHis owner Wendy said: “I looked at his back leg and could see it was completely mangled, most of his paw was missing and even parts of the bone were showing."
His leg was so severely damaged that the vet had to amputate it. Goose is now recovering at home.
Image source, RSPCAWendy was told by the vet that the injury was caused by some kind of animal trap. The RSPCA said it is investigating the incident.
Inspector Sarah Gardner said: “We don’t know at this stage if this was a legal trap or not but even so, legal traps have to be set in a certain manner to catch the species of animal they are intended for, they are not legally set if they trap other animals such as cats.
“People should not need to use such traps in built-up housing areas like where this incident happened."
