Contact with Band/Artist

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Fearghal McGlinchey and I am 18 years old. I am studying A2 media studies at Haydon School in Pinner.

I have been asked to create a music video using an existing song, for my media studies coursework. I am asking permission to use the song ‘Scars’ by James Bay in my music video, I have chosen this song because I feel I would be able to bring out a lot of emotion within the video due to my actor being able to relate to the song a lot, my music video will do nothing but benefit/promote the song. I will take no credit for the song as all of it will go to James Bay.

I would appreciate it if you could please respond to this email allowing me permission to use the song for my coursework.

Yours Faithfully,

Fearghal McGlinchey

The record company that I would contact is Republic Records.

This is the email that I sent to Republic Records which is the record label that James Bay is signed to. In the email I ask permission to use the song ‘Scars’ for the music video I will be creating. I have briefly explained who I am, what song I would like consent to have and why I would like to use the song.
