We are thinking of having a group go round our neighbourhood - I am wondering how performing rights applies. Obviously most of the old familiar carols are not a problem, but I was wondering about the more modern things we used to teach the children at school. Mary's Boy Child or The Virgin Mary, for example. Or other pieces published in Black's collections "Merrily to Bethlehem" or "Sing Nowell". We'll be, if we do it, collecting for the DEC Ebola appeal.
Is itinerant singing covered by legislation? I don't want to find one of our neighbours leaping out to stop us as rumour had it some parent who worked for a publishers did to a school concert.
