A friend of mine runs a dance school for children and has done so for at least forty years.She received a phone call (not a letter) from a person representing this organisation who told her that from
November 1st her school was liable to pay fees to the society for music played for these young children to dance to. A record player and a piano player. When it was understood that the business had been running
for some years he implied that the payment could go back five years.
This is heavy handed to say the least, the costs to her school could amount to £2-300 per annum. This organisation should be promoting children to be interested in Music and Dance.
I would appreciate your views on this subject. I am appalled that they have to sink so low to get their money.
