Surely, when it comes to pubs, the manager decides to put music on and therefore pays the PRS. If they choose not to charge that on, well that's their problem.
When you see pubs putting bands on and paying them and letting people in for nowt, then why should a few bob in the PRS kitty be of concern.

For singarounds and sessions in pubs, surely the organisers can charge a quid a head and hand that over to the publican to cover PRS.
Surely that is not a hardship.

The same applies for people running events at churches, Village Halls etc.

For most people the cost is half a pint of beer and when you see what some people consume, its peanuts.

I suppose I will get hit now with the rhythm stick.

I'll get me coat and listen to a bit of Ian Dury.
