What is the situation with regards to tall ships on which there may be
sung / chanted 1) sea shanties to help with the muscle work, or 2)
singing &/or music making the end of the day say in the bar or common
room area or up on deck?

What about the "two-six-heave" chant for pulling ropes?

Do tall ships that are registered in the UK have to be licensed if
they are a) in English waters / ports, or b) in International waters
including Scotland and Ireland.

What about visiting ships from overseas once they are in English
waters / ports?

And what about formal folk song sessions on stage on the quayside?

And what about informal sessions on board a ship moored to a quayside
for the crew's entertainment but which the public may listen to?

Or performances on the ship itself?

So I looked at the script
It was six weeks filming in the desert.
No girls,  no dialogue,  just guys with guns.
They said "Do you want wages or a percentage?"
It looked like a certain turkey.
When they came the second time I was ready.
I haven't had to work since...

Apparently, you don't need a license if the vehicle is moving, does 
bobbing up and down count?

Well as the last concert I went to on a tall ship was sponsored by the 
local authority who issues the licences, I imagine that it does...

Hi

I have been in many a pub which, after a few pints, appears to be
bobbing up and down and moving.

Does this mean I can sing without needing a licence??

Only if the licensing officer is in a similar state of inebriation.
