Subject: RE: PRS Performing Rights Gestapo
Points taken about PRS not always listening to the views and requirements of the smaller end of the folk sector.

Maybe one solution would be for more folk club and session organisers to join the FCO Forum, and then - with that franchise behind it - form an organisation with a bit of muscle (as has already been debated on the list) which could lobby PRS on these issues.

The MU does a great job representing artists, but maybe there more to be said by club and session organisers.

We could discuss it at the folkWISE (The FCO and Britfolk's Kindly Uncle) board meeting on Sat. What do you think George?
