So, at our festival, which is in essence a series of sessions - the only paid performers and the only entry fee was for the dance on Saturday night - are we supposed to make a note of everything played or sung in the pub seshes and then tell PRS so that they can tell us how much of it was not public domain and give us a bill? I suppose if we want to keep our costs down to make best use of our lotery and local authority funding, we could have a steward in each session whose job it is to stop anybody if they start to sing something other than public domain. I suppose PRS could provide us with a list.

And should somebody also be doing this for our normal sessions in the local pubs?

And who is the 'organiser'? Is it the person whose name appears as the contact for the session in the listings mag, or is it the licensee who is hosting the session?
