Contemporary live music mostly happens in licensed venues such as pubs, bars and restaurants, so any aspect of liquor licensing arrangements that impacts venues unfairly also impacts live music unfairly.
Also, many licensed premises have a clause on their liquor license about the amenity of the area, which includes noise, hence the link with liquor licensing.
