PRS to sponsor BME
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 3 March 2009
Royalties body PRS For Music has announced it will be a key sponsor of the previously reported pop museum opening at The O2 in London this month, the British Music Experience. The collecting society will be the exclusive industry sponsor of the BME, and will be particularly involved in the facility’s education programme.
PRS For Music top man Steve Porter told CMU: “We’ve been at the heart of the UK music industry for several generations and without our work collecting royalties many of the musicians featured here would not have made it. The BME is a fantastic exhibition to be involved with and I’m delighted we’re on board”.
BME chair Harvey Goldsmith added: “It’s fantastic that PRS For Music are supporting the British Music Experience. By coming on board they are recognising the importance of the exhibition within the industry and bringing their expertise to the BME’s education programme”.
