It's well worth doing if you can.

Naturally, everyone here would be curteous enough to ask the venue manager first of course

Again, it might sound an obvious thing to say, but when I asked someone last year if I could film myself and my dance partner at a normal club night, I was initially told "Sorry, but no".

The reason being, that apparently they would need an 'Entertainments Licence' (I think that's what it was), if filming was taking place. Now I have no idea if this was correct or not, but it's worth looking out for.

In the end, I agreed to ensure the camera was concealed, pointing solely at a quiet corner by the stage, and only recording when I was in that corner dancing.

This meant I couldn't set the camera's exposure and focusing properly, and the end result was pretty poor.
