The live music map shouldn't be postcode-dependent. We all know that some of the greatest scenes in UK music history have come from all over the nations, in all sorts of pockets in the North, South, East, West, and Midlands.

UK tourist Becky Burke was arrested by ICE in the USA and kept in handcuffs and chains for 19 days before being deported back to Wales.
Her 'crime', doing unpaid work in return for accomodation (which isn't illegal).
