PPCA Licensor Profile In addition to licensing sound recordings on behalf of all major and multinational record companies in Australia (including Sony BMG, EMI, Warners and Universal), PPCA also licenses the catalogues of hundreds of independent and smaller record labels. These labels cater to a vast range of music tastes from rock, pop and country to metal, electronica, religious, reggae, indigenous rock, funk and experimental music.

To illustrate the wide variety of music covered by a PPCA licence, each edition of In the Loop features a profile of one of our many Licensors and its catalogue which is licensed by PPCA.

Original Works - Rod Tamlyn, Managing Director

1. What kind of music does Original Works release?

Original Works’ main focus is adult contemporary with a bias towards the niche instrumental markets. We like working with artists that display high levels of expression and virtuosic ability.

In addition, we create music for strategic brand and positioning campaigns for large businesses which they can then release into any commercial avenue they choose.

2. What are some of your key releases to date?

Our key releases include albums by Tommy Emmanuel titled Only and the double live album Live One. The depth of expression, technical ability and dynamics of these recordings capture the magic of Tommy’s solo guitar like no other. Tommy is a musician who will be talked about and admired long into the future.

3. What type of business could play your music?

These releases contain a wide variety of solo guitar works. Only showcases original pieces by Tommy, and Live One is the ultimate collection of acoustic guitar arrangements of well known tunes by Peter Allen, The Beatles and some of Tommy’s older hits. My personal favourites are the ballads. They are especially soulful, melodic and easy listening, so these tend to be very popular with restaurants, cafes, hotels and some of the more elegant bars and lounges.

4. Do you have any exciting releases or events coming up?

Soon to be released for the Australian market is an album by Tommy Emmanuel and Jim Nicols entitled Happy Hour. It is two of the world’s best players having fun with some great jazz standards in a tribute to their mentor and friend - the legendary Chet Atkins. The spontaneity and musical vocabulary is simply stunning – this will be one for jazz guitar enthusiasts.

Original Works has several other projects currently in production at the moment, so stay tuned.

The newsletter for PPCA Licensees AUTUMN 08

Welcome to the Autumn edition of In the Loop – PPCA’s newsletter for licensees.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you own, manage or work in one of the almost 50,000 Australian venues licensed by PPCA, whether it’s a club, hotel, bar, restaurant, fitness centre, cafe, hair salon or other business that uses music to entertain or engage its clientele.

We all know that music can make you feel great. It can make you break out in song, break out in dance or break out your wallet and splurge on food, drinks or products. As a business owner, I’m sure you’re well aware of the benefits of playing music in your business. When used properly, recorded music and music videos can attract and entertain customers, positively impact sales and motivate staff.

At PPCA, we help businesses lawfully play music by providing blanket licences to them, and at the same time, we funnel that income back to deserving artists and labels for their hard work.

Since our last newsletter, PPCA has distributed over $12 million to record labels and Australian artists, helping to keep the music coming for all of us to enjoy.

In the following pages you’ll hear about Aussie music label Original Works, find out which Aussie acts made the Most Broadcast list and learn about some important billing changes for nightclub owners.

Through our newsletters and web site, we seek to keep you In the Loop on music licensing in Australia. We encourage you to visit us at www.ppca.com.au for up-to-date information and handy Frequently Asked Questions.

As always, feel free to give us a call at (02) 8569 1111 with any feedback or questions you may have.

FAQIs there any legal requirement for me to pay PPCA licence fees?

It is illegal to play protected sound recordings for commercial purposes without a licence. The Copyright Act imposes an obligation on those who wish to broadcast, communicate or publicly perform protected sound recordings and music videos to obtain the licence of the copyright holders. PPCA is authorised by participating record labels to grant these licences and to collect licence fees. If you don’t obtain a licence from PPCA, you will need to obtain a licence from each relevant individual copyright owner. For further information, see The Legal Position on our web site at www.ppca.com.au/legal_position.htm

Note your NumberPPCA wants to remind all licensees to quote your licence number when making all payments, especially via electronic funds transfer (EFT). Without a licence number we may not be able to correctly identify who has made the payment which will substantially delay crediting the funds against your account.

New billing arrangements for NightclubsNightclub owners please take note: following implementation of the new nightclub tariff, PPCA has made a change to its billing processes. PPCA is now issuing monthly invoices to nightclub licensees. If you would prefer to remain on an annual billing cycle, please contact the licensing department at (02) 8569 1111 or licensing.mail@ppca.com.au.
