"Sharing those performances - with or without pay, is illegal"
Can anybody clear up this statement; I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to the UK.
If it is the case in relation to folk music it goes to show how the (what did the man say about keeping his gun?) "cold, dead hand" of commercialism gets it grubby paws on everything.
If it had been the case in the past we wouldn't have 'folk' music.
