Gerald Newson re-elected to PPL board
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 24 November 2010
Former London Symphony Orchestra player Gerald Newson has been re-elected to the board of recording rights collecting society PPL. Two other people stood against Newson for the Performer Director post, which came up for election at PPL’s Annual Performer Meeting in London yesterday.
Commenting on his win, Newson told CMU: “It is a privilege and honour to be re-elected to the PPL Performer Board. I will endeavour to do my upmost to serve and represent all performers to the best of my ability”.
PPL boss man Fran Nevrkla, meanwhile, added: “I am delighted about Gerald’s re-election which I believe is the performer community’s recognition and appreciation of all his sterling work over many years for the benefit of all performers. Gerald has a deep knowledge and profound understanding of the performer community and I wish him every continued success”.
