| Sydney's booming live music scene is at risk of disappearing under the O'Farrell government's new lockout laws, according to MusicNSW's Kirsty Brown.
Speaking at a community forum run by dance music website inthemix, Brown warned that up and coming musicians could see performance spaces and opportunities stripped under the new laws, which come into force on February 24.
Of the 220 hotels, pubs and clubs in Sydney's CBD affected by the changes, 143 are classified as live music venues.
"We don't want live music venues to close because they've been lumped in with venues whose sole purpose is to sell booze," Ms Brown said.
