Welcome
As President of the FRMS may I welcome you to our website, which is full of news about our activities and services on behalf of Recorded Music Societies everywhere. If you are not a member of one why not follow the link to find one near you and experience the extra pleasure of enjoying good music in the company of others. Our popular Music Weekend would be a great place to start. See you there! *************
The Federation of Recorded Music Societies (FRMS) can claim to have played its part in developing greater enthusiasm and understanding of recorded classical music over a substantial portion of the past century. As
the "National Federation of Gramophone Societies", the Federation
was launched in 1936. Although the title has been changed to reflect
more recent developments, the aims of the movement have remained basically
unaltered and the attraction is still present in the 21st century as
over 200 societies continue to ply their trade.
ADVANTAGES OF AFFILIATION TO THE FRMS
Our main function is to manage licensing arrangements with Performing
Right Society Ltd (PRS) and Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) for the
licences necessary for performing recorded music in public, on terms
favourable to our members. The fees are greatly reduced from those normally
applied by these organisations for individual licences. A particular
benefit of this arrangement is that it is the society itself that is
licensed and not the premises. This means that the society is covered
for PRS and PPL wherever it chooses to meet. |
FEATURED LINK Every so often we will highlight one of the links on our Links Page for your special attention. In the run up to Christmas I have selected some appropriate music on YouTube videos (Please note there may be a short advertisement before the music starts - please be patient!) 1.
