Hi can anyone enlighten me on this....


MOBILE DJ
A PPL Tariff for the public use of Sound Recordings.
Effective from: 1-Oct-2006 to: 30-Sep-2007





This tariff is suitable for those DJ’s who require their own licence to cover individual and one off events; examples include fetes, outdoor shows, sports club discos, local businesses’ Christmas parties, etc.

The mobile DJ licence does not cover the following:

1. Events held in discotheques, nightclubs or similar venues.
2. Permanent/regular engagements.
3. Consecutive events held in the same venue.
4. Events promoted by the mobile DJ.
5. Domestic events (e.g birthdays, weddings) for which no PPL licence is required.

In the cases of 1, 2 and 3, further information can be provided to PPL so that the necessary licences can be arranged for the individual promoters. In the case of number 4, a separate licence application form should be submitted by the mobile DJ.

You should provide the date you started playing recorded music to enable us to calculate the start period for your licence.



Fees: FLAT FEE: £124.17 per annum per DJ (exclusive of VAT).

This is what i found for the mobile disco PPl license but #5 states that no license is needed for birthdays and weddings.

So what do i do when i play for a birthday party in a village hall (which i dont expect has its own PPl.)????


Does anyone actually bother with PPL??

After all we do have to pay out a lot in
-music
-Pat testing
-Public liability insurance
-Kit insurance (all on top of the kit its self)

(anything i have missed? lol )
