8.00pm – 9.15pm: How To Place Your Music in Film and TV

Have you ever wanted to write for a TV show or create music for advertising? The area of ‘sync’ rights has become increasingly important in recent years for songwriters as both a valuable income stream and also for raising their profile, but it’s still a mystery for many artists how music is sourced and selected.

This panel will be discussing everything you need to know to prepare, pitch and place your songs for television in the UK and around the world and the important matter of making sure that you get paid.

Panellists:

Daniel Jones (PRS for Music - Moderator)

Becky Hawley (Stealing Sheep)

Dave Newton (PRS for Music)

Gemma Jones (Lime Pictures)

Patrick Cloherty (Sentric Music)

Steve Levine (Producer & Composer)
