Cd's Only

Quoted for a client today and checked on the venue website which says '

Where Hirers intend to employ a Disco, the Disco Operator must display a current Performing Rights Society Licence'. I assume this is aimed at laptop dj's and not us 'old timers' using CDs.

Speak to the venue - don't assume anything, EVER!

It sounds like the venue doesn't have its own!?

Yes I have the venues number and will check. Does anyone on here hold this type of license if they are using CD's only?

A PRS licence is required by any location or premises where music is played and can be heard by the public and that includes any premises outside the home, from clubs to concert halls, from discos to dentists’ waiting rooms, and from trains to take aways.

 

Usually, the proprietor/manager of the premises is responsible for obtaining a PRS Music Licence.

 

Same applies with a PPL licence.

I've always thought a PPL license (if you're playing original CDs only, i.e. no PCs, DVDs, etc.) was enough, irrelative of what they've got. For pubs, etc. they are supposed to have a PRS license themselves, but as far as covering your ar$e is concerned - I was under the distinct impression the PPL was enough (about £135 the last time I looked)
