Live Performance Royalty Claims

Live Claims

LIVE PERFORMANCE CLAIMS

All venues that hold "live" gigs / concerts / festivals etc., are officially licenced to do so.
This licence fee goes towards paying royalties to the composers of the songs performed at these venues, even at "open mic" nights or within DJ "live" Sets.
We recommend that you always use a suitable Booking Contract for all engagements.

You are due royalties from every licenced venue you have played, whether you were paid to perform or not and whether it was a ticketed or free event.

We recommend that all clients submit regular "live" claims, either monthly or quarterly depending on work schedules. Minimum claim is for THREE performances.
NOTE : MAJOR LIVE CLAIMS must be made before the concert / tour starts.

UK LIVE CASH ADVANCES
Most claims take several months to fully process.
We offer established UK clients who have been with us for at least one year the unique option of an immediate CASH ADVANCE of 50% of the estimated value of their claim, to reduce the waiting time for royalty payments from UK Gigs / Events / Residencies on all claims where they have been a headlining act for over TEN performances.
We regret that live advance options are not applicable to Foreign Clients or PRO Member applicants and you must not have any titles published elsewhere.

NOTES
Stringent checks are made on all "live" claims, meaning that sometimes they take longer to process and occasionally (eg. where multiple claims for the same date are made) we may require supporting documentation (Engagement Contracts, Flyers etc).

To speed things up, please ensure the following:-
  • All set-list titles have been previously registered with us
    (New titles will be registered automatically, but this can delay your claims being processed
    and on some occasions it may be necessary for us to create a nominal set-list)
  • Include fullest possible details of each venue
  • Ensure you claim for the correct category
    (Gig / Concert / Festival)
  • No private gigs can be claimed
  • No busking sessions can be claimed
    (Except for authorised UK London Underground pitches)
  • Royalties can vary depending on performance duration and Headline / Support status
  • NB : All claims are paid at Regional PRO discretion
