Yes...or any live music for that matter!
The Musicians' Union fought very very hard to have live music represented in
the Dome. All they managed to do was get some part time employment for a few
jazz players who have to stroll around in silly costumes entertaining the
queues.
To make it "ok" the Dome management sent the union official involved in
negotiating invitations to the New Years Eve bash! I'm pleased to say he
filed them in the big round container under his desk.
