Thread Name: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
No replies, no definition, just abuse, not even an attempt to take up my offer - all from a tiny and diminishing number of clubs run largely by people who are failing to draw in a new generation when we move on
I don't think I heve ever encountered such evasion and dishonesty
Blackbirds can never become a folk song because it is owned and was created by the Beatles
You can play it in your clubs and open the door to PRS charges, if that's what you want, but if you attempt to use it outside those walls, you will pay heavily for thr privilege
One of the best features is that is in the public domain and is yours by right - that is what you people have destroyed
As you say Dave nothing more to be said
I've made my offer - like the true heroes you all are, you've all scrambled to take advantage of it
It is nice to talk to people with open minds - not
