'The problem as I see it is that the way it seems to operate for my radio station is a monthly sample. Thus the folk artists who are played on A Friday between 1000 am and 12noon - may or may not receive a royalty for their work. (That's 93.2FM and on the internet at www.sheffieldlive.org by the way).

Seems a bit hit and miss to me. Surely with modern communications they could set up an electronic system whereby I enter the records into some sort of database. (I am doing the work anyway).'

Exactly Folkiedave! I don't think its 'carping criticism' - buggering up someones football clubroom, while major corporations are not held accountable for using our music.

As a full PRS member since the dawn of time, I personally find their operations about as transparent as mud. I don't want to join a committtee and bandy words with them, but I really do wish someone would.
