That is a point I have often wondered about. I'm really not sure how it works. I presume that if you sing somebody else's composition for money, you should have asked them first and then you owe them something.

Does that include buskers, pub bands, solo guest artists in a folk club?

But in a folk singaround that wouldn't apply surely?

I must admit that I avoid booking guests on to my show if they predominately sing covers. We are fully registered with the PRS and the PPL, but I assume you would only get their tuppence if you are already famous and registered with them too.
