Thread Name: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Collapse of the Folk Clubs
Are you suggesting that I have advocated the 'banning' of any songs, Stallion? Obviously, I have not (though would very much prefer not to have to listen to teenage angst etc crap). What I do think is how ridiculous it is that no-one apparently gets what a song is ABOUT because their minds are on non-musical and other reprehensible pursuits. If in a f*lk club, the top priority really ought to be the music. When it is not it is possibly preferable that the venue collapses.
As for attribution, yes I do believe that this is very important, both for academic reasons and because musicians' livelihoods often depend upon royalties. Does the Tap & Spile omit to make PRS returns then?
