Other questions...
We have decided on our programme for the year. May we book
ahead?
Of course. We welcome advance bookings. Tell us what you need
and the date required.
We need a title which is not on your catalogue. Can you obtain
it?
Yes, if you give us sufficient notice. We will try and buy new
copies or request them from another music library in the UK. A
booking fee is payable.
Are all scores and plays cleared for performance rights and
royalty payments?
No. Plays are not necessarily released for amateur performance.
Please make sure you have applied to the publisher and obtained
permission.
Royalty payments are usually payable on any music or play performed
publicly. Do please contact the publisher or the
MCPS
- PRS Alliance (Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society and
Performing Right Society) at an early stage of your production.
May I photocopy scores or plays?
No. Under the Copyright, Designs & Patent Act 1988,
all unauthorised copies are illegal, whether made by machine or by
hand. We will try and provide you with sufficient copies for your
needs.
Bits and pieces you need to know
- Please remove any pencil markings your group may have made on
copies.
- Please check the number of parts before you take them
away.
- Please return all parts in the listed order.
- If any parts are lost or damaged, please let us know as soon as
possible. If you can replace them with new or good condition copies
of the same edition, this would help us greatly. If not, a charge
will be made as we will need to purchase a replacement
Have a wonderful performance!
Come back and use us again and please - we would appreciate an
