mr shambles,

many thanks & much gratitude for all your hard work & efforts re pels [repels?]

i posted a q a while ago about wether church music would be exempted-it is.

i was seeking precedents such as this which might be presented in dialogue with the powers that be.

a friend's daughter is going to cork [roi] soon with her high school's swing band.

this prompts me to ask, do school music activities,like choirs, bands and so on need a pel?

then there's other groups like amateur singers in choirs [non religious]for example the 'chester ladies male voice choir :-]'

and amateur dramatics societies who may perform the odd 'gilbert & sullivan' work. amateur operatics too
