Thanks for all the advice and contributions......It was indeed useful. I am now in dialog(ue) with the PRS who are being helpful but unremitting.

The Nic Jones thing is where I would want our moneies to go but how and who do the PRS pay?...they have no record of what or when copy(w)right material is sung. So people like Nic probably don't get a monthy cheque. I was going to attach a note from the PRS which is helpful but as I haven't got the senders permission (nor asked for it) to broadcast his note to me I feel I shouldn't on the grounds of privacy.

Thanks again.....It would cut us real bad to close so we are looking for the "third way".....Law does not always seem to be the same as justice..(I said that).
