I would suggest that volunteers contact you by PM. Then you can pass on information on a private forum by giving those who want to be involved the URL of that forum - or perhaps a private chat room.

But how can I get volunteers if I don't make a public announcement in the forum?

You already have, right here. If anyone is interested, they should contact you by PM.

Well, I should make clear that I am not an expert in intellectual property law. But my understanding (not advice ) is that, if the performance is for private use only, there would be no copyright issue under UK law. The law in the US and other countries might be different, though.

I'm no expert either, but there has been a growing fight in the US over copyright, especially dealing with the internet. With the internet you can download music, movies, books...etc and since government has very minor part of their hands in the internet it's hard to regulate. Several authors like Ray Bradbury are filing many lawsuits on broken copyright laws. Of course this is dealing with the distribution out to the public, not private use. So, it may very well be the same.
