Our Creative Work
Across Every Sphere
From the sanctuary to the stage, from the care home to the festival ground — Caribbean and African Gospel music creatives have shaped the sound of nations, reaching every sphere of life.
The Royalty Gap
99% of Gospel performances outside church go unreported to PRS. Songwriters are losing income every week.
Church
The foundation — worship services, choir, prayer meetings
Gospel music began in the church, and it remains the heartbeat of our faith communities. But the story doesn't end here.
Nightlife
Clubs, pubs, bars, live music venues
From Brixton to Birmingham, Gospel-rooted music fills dance floors and live stages every weekend. These PRS-licensed venues owe songwriters royalties.
Festivals
Music festivals, cultural events, carnival
Notting Hill Carnival, Gospel festivals, summer events — our music is the soundtrack. Every festival with a PRS licence generates royalties.
Community
Halls, centres, weddings, funerals, celebrations
From wedding receptions to funeral services, community halls to village fêtes — Gospel music is woven into the fabric of British life.
Education
Schools, universities, colleges, assemblies
School assemblies, university events, music courses — our songs shape young minds and inspire the next generation of musicians.
Care
Hospitals, care homes, prisons, hospices
Gospel music brings comfort, hope and healing. Performances in care settings at PRS-licensed facilities generate royalties too.
Corporate
Hotels, conferences, corporate events
Award ceremonies, conferences, hotel events — when Gospel music is performed at corporate venues, songwriters deserve to be paid.
Broadcast
Radio, TV, podcasts, streaming
From BBC Radio to community stations, TV broadcasts to podcasts — airplay means PRS royalties for registered songwriters.
