If these friends are "performing" in a public location (bar, resturant, social club, etc) then the license is the reponsablity of the establishment not the KJ. The place where I do my shows just recently renewed their license with BMI. I told them they need to get one with ASCAP as well to cover all.
If they are performing at private parties of less than 300 (according to producers own website) a license isn't needed. I can't imagine a party with over that number.

..thanks for that reply.. im not sure who these ppl are..so its the responsibilty of the establishment to get a license then, the place where i play cant hold that much ppl anyway, about 100 at least..and not all of them sings..maybe 15-25.
