Radio 4 are currently putting something together on this. I'm not sure when it will be aired but they are coming to record an interview with us in our local pub next wednesday. When I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago their intention was to involve Feargal Sharkey - Yorkshire Folk Arts (Norma Waterson was mentioned) - Government representative - Musicians Union - PRS - Sam Smiths (no comment) - Arts Council. I have no idea who will actually be involved. The reason they were in contact with our little known backwater was because of the Sam Smiths incident. The aim of the feature/news item/report/programme (I'm not sure which) is to look at the overall issue of licensing etc and to discuss whether the actions of Sam Smiths are the thin end of a wedge or the idiosyncratic actions of an individual.

So, yes, there may be and there are hopefully some weighty people involved that may get it some prominence.
