Some readers may have seen the flash mob performing Ravel's Bolero at Copenhagen station some time ago. The side-drummer just "appeared" and started playing, joined by the flute and others.
I wondered if they had permission from DSB, or did they just turn up? I'm trying to imagine the bureaucracy, form filling and hoops to be jumped through before being allowed to do this at, say, Kings Cross or Waterloo.
On the other hand, there are some pianos at UK stations now (and there is another thread on this subject). Manchester Vic has one, St. Pancras and Sheffield also, I think, and we are invited to play. Presumably the station owner has a PRS (Performing Rights Society) licence.
