For what it is worth, bear with me this is not off topic, i used to play for the Tap & Spile cricket club which played Sundays and Tuesday evenings, when I asked the landlord for a donation to club funds on the grounds that two days a week we brought in twenty odd customers he told us to P*ss off on the grounds that we were taking up places that others drinkers could fill and cost him nothing, now the folk session is in the Tap & Spile and the space the session musos and singers take up could be filled three times over by drinkers, we do get a half dozen or so free pints and relations are extremely cordial but the bottom line counts and if the PRS got stuck into him then the session would end, he is a business man not a folk enthusiast. As I have already said earlier I wholeheartedly support the writers and performers of original work and the significantly original arrangements getting their due reward but I can't see for the life of me how throttling sessions like ours is going to benefit the music industry and in particular traditional folk music.
oh and i am no writer, I have tried and I am hopeless but one little adaptation wot I wrote I have heard two people singing it and felt quite chuffed, it's posted here somewhere! That's enough for me!
