The never dull world of music publishing were at the annual general meeting of the Performing Rights Society yesterday. Amid discussions about the Live Music Forum and the Santiago agreement (whatever that is), elections took place for the Society's board.
Writers David Ferguson and Francis Shaw replace Christopher Gunning and John McLeod on the Society's board of songwriters, on to which Peter Callander, Nicky Graham, Edward Gregson, Mitch Murray and Andy Neve were re-elected. On the publishing side EMI Music Publishing's William Booth and Faber Music's Richard King replace EMI's Jonathan Channon and Oxford Univeristy Press' Andrew Potter as publisher directors.
