It's all beyond me !! I had no idea you could be "done" for having the radio on at work !!
Our "Folk Club", viz Marlow Bottom Acoustic,meets every wednesday,at four regular pub venues in the Marlow - High Wycombe area.None of the landlords seem to be the least bit concerned about the legality or otherwise of our little "performances",even letting us use amplification in certain circumstances.At all of these venues,we perform in the bar,not in a "back room ".
            I recently asked Richard Thompson personally if it was OK with him if Karen & I continued to perform some of his material, and he sportingly said that it was fine,providing that we didn't make a CD of it and sell 50,000 copies. I replied that I doubted,in that case,that we could sell even 50 copies ,to which he laughed (he does,you know !!) Similarly, I don't think that Briege Murphy is too fussed,whilst Kate Wolf would be tricky,and we haven't met Karine Polwarts yet in order to ask her.
             Last week, at our "session", a radio presenter from a local FM station recorded the entire performance with the object of playing some or all of it (it was VERY GOOD !!)both on the internet and during Marlow Regatta fortnight.He wasn't exactly shaking in his boots !!
          See you in jail !!
