PRS for Music are running a seminar on music copyright. This can be a minefield but Duncan McCrone and Andy Harrower will demystify this process.
Are you making short films but not sure what music you can or cannot use, and more importantly is there a cost?
Are you a musician/composer just not sure what to charge, if anything, for your creative talent on a short film, television programme or radio?
What rights should you sell/buy and what should you keep/not bother with?
What are rights and what do you have to do to 'clear' them?
If you've ever asked yourself any of the above this is a must-attend seminar for you.
We'll explain the difference in using commercial, library and specially composed music, and give an insight into blanket agreements, the latest developments with music and the internet and all will exemplified with over 20 years of music publishing experience.
Andy Harrower is Director of Broadcast Licensing at PRS for Music. Currently he is responsible for overseeing the licensing of TV and radio broadcasters in the UK, ensuring that PRS writer and publisher members are paid whenever their music is broadcast.
Duncan McCrone is Scotland's Senior Development Manager for PRS for Music. He looks after the songwriting and publishing community in Scotlahd and his office is the first port of call for anyone who either creates or uses music in Scotland.
5pm Networking Drinks

I've been on a couple of Duncan's workshops in the past and they're not only very interesting but probably vital for anyone in the music industry.
