In most cases with bookings especially for festivals the organisers have heard us before, in the case of the Canadian festival the story was about we had sent them a "live" CD. So as far as the organisers were concerned, as they did decide to book us, they obviously thought our material, standard of performance and audience reception to be of an acceptable standard. At a large international festival with those who make up the audiences coming from far and wide how on earth would the "organisers" be able to tell what might offend?

Where does the "If a performer wants to do a song that's a bit "iffy" come from? The song, internationally known and fairly widely performed had been sung many, many times, for years with no complaint whatsoever. So it is obvious that we didn't, and even now, I do not, find the song "a bit "iffy"

The only occasions where we have ever had to submit set lists complete with lyrics for approval have been where, as part of a festival a concert is played in a consecrated church in some countries in Europe - we've never had any problem there either.
