The concept of ownership is an interesting one. We were there at the start many moons ago when we asked the landlord if it was OK to play, when the pub had squeeky dog toys and a customer who would always do an Irish dance set if we played appropriate music. Both alas no more. However, most of the effort is put in by those from priory, gundulf and the mummers who can be relied on to audience, join in with songs, and take turns to lead with appropriate choice of material. Organising it is the easy job when you have such a reliable crowd, most of whom have been going as long as us. If there is any model of ownership it is a collective one.
