I think the PRS thing whiffs a bit, a blanket cost shared out amongst the "biggies". I think songwriters should get the money for their work but I would doubt that any of the writers of the stuff we perform would get a meg from the PRS. We paid our whack to the MCPS for our CD licence knowing that the writers would get that money. I do produce a list of all the songs featured in our sets with the writers so it wouldn't be difficult for the PRS to sort it out, maybe we ought to send a list of all the peoples work featured in folk clubs and request the PRS to send them a payment.
