We recognise that, in the current economic context and amidst a closure crisis, there are frustrations among venue operators and promoters with PRS for Music’s 38 Grassroots music venues fees and processes regarding licensing. We also recognise that PRS for Music has a responsibility to the songwriters, composers and music publishers it represents, and is a vital part of the music ecosystem. Songwriter rights and royalties should be protected but tariffs should be fair and terms reasonable for licensees.
