Do you play background music or invite bands/choirs to perform in your church? If so, you must first ensure that your church premises are licensed for music performance, since permission is required from the copyright owner whenever music is played in a public setting. This includes both live performances and pre-recorded music.
With the PRS for Music Church Licence you can play music in a variety of ways, such as:
Church Halls:If your hall is an integral part of the church building then the PRS for Music Church Licence will cover the entire building including the hall unless more than six concerts/recitals per year are held in the church premises. If your hall is a separate building, whether or not it is within the curtilage of the church, then the hall can only be covered by CCLI if activities where music is played are run predominately by and for the church congregation. In all other cases PRS for Music will license the hall direct as a separate building. Licence Fees:Licence fees are based on your average aggregated attendance at your main service and you can view them here. Exclusions:
Music within filmsIf you're showing films in your church for entertainment you may need a PRS for Music Church Licence to cover you for music included in the film. If you're not sure that you have the correct licences please contact us.
