A folk band who perform Beatles songs in Cornish are banned from recording a Fab Four covers album.
Skwardya hit the headlines last week when they announced they had already translated 'She Loves You' and 'Eight Days A Week' and were working on other tracks.
They had hoped to continue and to release a record of their versions in the ancient, little-spoken language.
However, executives at Sony and Harrisongs, which owns the publishing rights to the Beatles catalogue, have put the brakes on the plans.
They disappointed the two-man act, composed of Matthew Clarke and Dave Miller, by refusing to give the go-ahead to their plan.
"After a series of transatlantic calls between lawyers we have been told we are not allowed," explained Clarke. "It went crazy – there was phenomenal interest. But sadly it is not to be."
