jonunders Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi, I am in a Covers Band and I would like to know who pays to use other peoples songs. Do the band have to buy a licence or is it covered by the venue. How do the song writers get their share of the royalties? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm a bit rusty on this side of things but IIRC it should be paid for by the venue's PRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The promoter should pay the PRS but most don't. If the promoter is paying PRS you’ll be asked to fill in a form with all the numbers you’ve played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
