Off Topic Hull: City of Culture

Apparently it was Burns that claimed it on his programme.

 

That claim was made, I know not where, but it's bollocks - as Burnsy would surely be aware.

 

There isn't anything wrong with it apart from that (although it is a massive 'that') , in fact I'm surprised it's as positive as it is
Still underwhelming involvement but at least they've acknowledged it and used its correct title this time

 

Yep.

 

Religion?

...

So it's being upgraded to Minster? Finally.

 

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Perhaps he was misheard?

 

It's just another Minster now, though. I quite liked the fact that it was England's biggest Parish Church!

 

I was going to ask if this was widely known or I'd missed it?

 

won't it still be? (I don't really understand the religious league table system)

 

He definitely said that the move to only play local bands was to stop paying the PRS licence.

Acccording to http://www.prsformusic.com/users/businessesandliveevents/pages/doineedalicence.aspx "The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 states you need to get permission from the copyright holder to ‘perform’ music in public – and a music licence grants you this permission."

The club specifically called earlier this year for local bands to submit music to them. Obviously if the bands are doing that, they can easily get the written permission of each artist to use their music, which according to the linked website, satisfies the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 without paying for a PRS licence.

 

Hadn't thought about it like that and it's a good point.

Although I see Rev Lambo says it'll be a Parish Church too.

Best of both worlds?

 

It was mentioned on here a couple of months ago.

 

So can anyone state with 100% certainty and provide proof that the club no longer pays PRS at all?

 

It's nothing to do with playing live. They asked for artists to send them their music to play before kickoff. So they will have their permission to play it.

 

From the PRS website:

"Please note, you don't need a licence from us if you play music which is out of copyright or purchased from a royalty-free music library. Please contact us if you're unsure."

If the artists don't claim royalties the club don't need a licence.

 

Clear evidence of who it is that has been stealing picture frames in the City!?
