Answer 4

Performing Rights Society (PRS)

What is the PRS?
A. The Performing Right Society exists to collect and distribute music royalties on behalf of its members - composers, songwriters, authors and publishers of music. Thier official description is as follows. The cost of the PRS Licence/Permit to authorise the public performance of PRS-controlled copyright music in 2005-6 is £20.97 (plus VAT). Unauthorised performances would be unlawful and constitute an infringement of copyright. Those teams who have received annual invoices from the PRS in the past will be billed automatically, as their renewal dates fall due. If you perform PRS-controlled copyright musical works in places such as residential homes which may not have their own licences, your team should have one.

You can contact the PRS's National Sales Centre, Peterborough as follows:

N.B. The PRS publish a very helpful booklet entitled "PRS at a glance

A PRS Music Licence is required by anyone intending to perform music in public, by whatever means (live, jukebox, TV, radio etc.) and in venues as diverse as halls to hairdressers, discos to dentist waiting rooms
the performers do not normally need to hold a PRS licence. Usually the promoter of the performance or proprietor of the venue where it takes place is responsible. This could be a club manager, owner of a shop, or a managing director of a radio station. The licence holder may charge you a fee toward meeting his PRS costs based on the size of the audience.
