We are also impressed with the friendly and relaxed tone of your presentation (ie no shrieking 😄 just pleasant and natural fun).

    Did you have any issues with copyright with all the music you had in your video?

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  ปีที่แล้ว

      You won't get copyright issues uploading live music. The only issue you could possibly ever have is the band themselves seeing it and not wanting it on there, but in my experience, the performers don't mind at all. Quite the opposite in fact. I've sent two separate performers on different ships, footage I've recorded so they can use themselves.

    • @andyandkirstie
      @andyandkirstie  ปีที่แล้ว

      No problem. Maybe there's backing music everyone is singing to that's being picked up? It would have to be hearing an original score for you to have issues. Even then it's unlikely to get you a copyright strike, TH-cam will just demonetise it. Glad you like the video!
