Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
the percentage paid out for trad arr is minscule compared to what is paid out for self composed, as regards music played on the radio the biggest percentage is for bnational radio , local radio is sampled often only one day in a month , the ideathat people make vast amounts out of air play for trad music is lasughable . the only time a perfomer really makes money is for self composed music played on national radio. if travellers think they are being ripped off and losing vast amounts they are misinformed, however that does not excuse kennedy who ripped them off for a pittance and lost their trust and made it difficult for other collectors
