Speaking to a publican during the week, he mentioned how in his town he was doing his bit to reduce the tension and potential rows that erupt as all pubs empty their customers on to the streets at the same time. His contribution? Simply play happy, feel good music at the end of the night instead of provocative, edgy music that would send customers out onto the streets all fired up.

Town centres have experimented with something similar in the UK by playing Barry Manilow over the outdoor speakers where gangs and groups of youths traditionally hung out! Might be worth a try over here!
