UK Country Music Fan Banned From Playing Music

This brits just don’t get it! When ya gotta Dolly, ya gotta Dolly!

The BBC reports that Diane Duffin, a country music fan from Leeds has been banned from playing music in her home for playing Dolly Parton tunes “around the clock.”

The Leeds city council applied for an interim anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) after neighbours complained about repeat
performances of tracks including Parton’s “Nine to Five”.

Ms Duffin was banned from playing music from 11pm to 7am and previously had her CD player, TVs, DVD players, CDs and other equipment confiscated from her home.

A neighbour had complained that on one day alone the Tammy Wynette track D.I.V.O.R.C.E was played 20 times.

An application for a full Asbo will be made at a two-day hearing to begin on 24 October.
