PLAYING MUSIC IN YOUR
BAR OR RESTAURANT
MAKE SURE YOU’RE LICENSED.
If you are playing recorded music in your
bar, café or restaurant it is a legal requirement
to obtain the correct music licences.
Music is good for business – the simple act of
turning music on can make a huge difference
to productivity and sales. 80% of people say
they like to hear music when they eat out.*
PPL and PRS for Music offer music licensing
solutions for businesses that play recorded
music in public – in most instances a licence
from both organisations will be required
A PPL licence can cost your business as little
as 19p per day, † for more information on how
to obtain your PPL licence visit ppluk.com
or call 020 7534 1095.
Copyright protects music in different ways
and businesses will often require music
licences from both PPL and a separate
organisation called PRS for Music. PPL
collects and distributes licence fees for the
use of recorded music on behalf of record
companies and performers, whereas PRS for
Music collects and distributes fees for the use
of musical compositions and lyrics on behalf
of songwriters, composers and publishers.
