Thanks GtD even though you reduced me to a mere female. Fionn = boy (as in Fionn McCohaill or Fin McCool); Fionnuala = girl.

I also failed to find an archived version or I would have included a link in my first post. Maybe it will be archived after the repeat has gone to air.

Shambles, most of the examples you mention assume an audience. If the customers in a pub all break into song, I'm not sure anyone would call that a performance, because there is no audience, and certainly no money is changing hands. Even if it does fall within the legal definition, no-one is likely to interfere with this South Yorks and Derbyshire tradition (which is spread across at least three licencing authorities), simply because common sense will prevail.

Councillors who meekly accept what their officers tell them are a breed I have yet to encounter, but maybe there are a few.
