Dave Goggin – PPL

Phonographic Performance Ltd might just be one of the most important companies you’ve never heard of. In fact it’s amazing to those of us in the know just how many people don’t think the PPL is important. When you consider how much revenue it can send to your artist or your music business enterprise you’ll soon realise that joining this organisation is a must.

What does the PPL do I hear you ask? The PPL licenses the use of recorded music in the UK and distributes the money collected to its members.

In fact the PPL collects around £115 million pounds each year on behalf of those who have performed on recorded music. If you have performed on a recording that has been released and it is getting played in public then some of that money is yours.

Dave Goggin’s presentation at the Music Business School will give you an overview of the PPL and how it works with those who use music to ensure a fair payment is made for that use and that the payment gets to performers.

Joining the PPL and getting your repertoire registered is easily achieved due to the new PPL on line registration system, however first time around some people new to the music business find some of the terminology used a bit daunting. Dave’s presentation can help you understand such an important part of your business.Dave’s presentation will also give you a clear understanding of how to engage with the PPL and the full range of benefits of being a member of the PPL.

Music Business School Guest Presentations.

One of the added benefits to attending the Managing a Music Business Enterprise qualification at Music Business School is our guest presenter programme. These are a series of short presentations from top level executives who are active in the UK and international music business. The aim of the presentations is to give students fast track insight to the thinking of some of those who are leading the way in today’s challenging music business.

Along with their presentations you’ll have the opportunity to directly question and meet the presenters adding valuable contacts to your music business network. As success in the music business is all about people and relationships having these contacts is a benefit you can’t do without.
