I AM so angry after reading Jonathan Bonner's letter about the changes in copyright affecting the playing of music in public places (January 10).

We are a group of people who entertain the residents of nursing homes and these people who don't have a lot to look forward to enjoy a good sing-along and look forward to us entertaining them.

We also receive donations for which every penny goes to local sick children. Does this mean the children lose out also? If Hugh Bayley did vote for its introduction, well shame on him.
