Advice on Recording & Broadcasting

We look after the recorded performances of MU members.

• The MU negotiates agreements with a large number of broadcasters, film producers and record companies.
• The Department collects and sends musicians the fees, where applicable, for other uses of those recorded performances. We do this for the full term of the copyright in your recordings. For this reason, it is imperative that you fill in the relevant consent form when making a recording. Always check with the Union about fees and terms for any media engagements. In addition, make sure that you are working for a bona fide company or an approved contractor.
