" I`ve never seen an singer `and over a list for approval"

That's because, for small gigs that come outside the Concert system, members now send a list of songs and tunes played, together with a list of venues, directly to the PRS every 20 gigs or so. It may be that some of the calls paid by PRS on previously unvisited pubs are a direct result of information culled from this new system. And that exercise will doubtless continue. So it's becoming ever more important that the system and the prices are, and are seen to be, reasonable and fair - and understandable by all.
