Legality surrounding rooftop party

Posts: 258 Forumite
Hello all, I am considering hosting a gig on my rooftop.
It will be live music on a strong and flat roof (1 story high) which faces out onto a highstreet. I'm thinking Friday night 19:00 till 23:00 of actual music, this way I wont be disturbing peoples sleep too much.
Obviously I don't want to give too much detail away but the area is a party borough (in London) and it will be live jazz music, with moderate amplification.
What I want to know is how legal is this?
What am I responsible for (in terms of the inevitable crowd)?
If things go wrong could the police confiscate our instruments?
I am planning to be completely compliant IF they ask us to turn down/stop but I imagine as long as we're not putting people in danger or really awfully disturbing the peace there shouldn't be much grounds for pooping the party.
Professional opinions please!
