How To Claim PPL Video 2 – The PPL Claims Basket

PPL-LogoHere’s Video 2 in my series showing you how to claim PPL UK Income. In this video, I show you how to navigate and complete the PPL Claims Basket. The tracks are from the Bach Motets CD that I recorded as a member of the Monteverdi Choir. It seemed a good one to claim for, as it won a Grammy, is a best seller and has had lots of plays on the radio.

PPLUK is the professional body that licenses recorded music played in public and broadcast on radio, TV and the Internet. It collects royalties and holds them until a PPL member claims them. Once you make a claim it then pays you any moneys owing and goes on to monitor airplay and pays any ongoing revenue to the claimant. If you have conducted, sung or played on a recording, even if you were only one of an 80-piece choir or a large orchestra, there may be some money owed to you.

In my experience, the website is quite difficult to navigate and the search process often comes up with a result that denies that the recordings even existed – even though you know they do!

Many musicians find the process overwhelming and turn to people who offer services making claims for you. Quite correctly, they charge a percentage of money received and any ongoing earnings.

I admit it can be very time consuming and confusing doing your first claim and adding new claims – especially it often takes a while for the record company to register the recording in order for you to be able to claim. If you do have the time and patience to do your own claims then you’ll receive ALL of the income due to you, both now and in the future.

Let’s face it, with our employment being so erratic, time is often the thing that we are rich in.

My advice is – keep you BPI and Pact forms and spend a windy, rainy day a couple of times a year checking for new repertoire.

There are currently five videos in the series and if you would like help with any other aspect of PPL, please email me and I’ll do another video for you!

 

Here is the link to Video 1 where I take you through the first step to finding your repertoire to Claim PPL income.

In Video 3 I take you through the next step in making your PPL claim.

UPDATE. Well it seems it was too good to be true….following the government’s unclear announcement the managers of the pub have cancelled the jazz for now. I’m really sorry if you’ve booked a table but you now need to call and cancel to make sure they don’t take your deposit. Hopefully we’ll revive this gig in the near future. I KNOW!!!! This Sunday lunchtime in Brighton

In the absence of any live Prom concerts (courtesy of Covid 19), the BBC is re-running many gems from previous years. Tonight on BBC4 at 19.00 is @johnwilsonorchestra with a starry cast of soloists and the ever splendid @maidavalesingers in ‘The Broadway Sound’. Possibly the campest ever prom?Back in 2012 when this concert was recorded, I still wrote a backstage blog which may interest some of you – it seems a lifetime ago and I sincerely hope that those wonderful concerts will be back in business next year – in fact any concerts…..the prospects seems rather bleak at the moment.heathercairncross.com/the-broadway-sound-singing-in-the-john-wilson-prom-2012/
