Hiya,
Oops.
Once more with text?
A quick look through:
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/Ukpga_19880048_en_1.htm
seems to imply that still photos of a musical performance is not an infringement of copyright. Video or audio recording quite definitely is.
In my small involvement with such things I have always told people using video or audio recorders to stop, but not photographers.
UNLESS they are using a flashgun, which is an awful thing for everybody!
And if there's even halfway decent lighting you'll get way better pictures without!
Cheers,
Q
