Music for Cafes – Play Music Without a PRS/PPL Music Licence!
The number of cafes and coffee shops in the UK is expected to exceed over 32,000 by 2023 (Statista.com). It’s never been more important to ensure the music you pick for your cafe is right. But it doesn’t have to cost the earth!
You can play royalty free music in your cafe. When you do this you don’t need to buy a PRS /PPL Music Licence and the savings can be huge when you make this switch. The great news is, we specialise in royalty free music for cafes!
Royalty Free Music for Cafes
Here at Background Sounds, we work with an international music licensing company. They work with artists all over the world to source the highest quality royalty free music. Their music is heard in over 10,000 stores worldwide.
All of the tracks we use are royalty free. This means the PRS and PPL collection agencies do not collect royalties for the artists we use. Instead, they get paid via the music licensing agency.
On average we save customers 50 – 80% when compared to the cost of the Music Licence.
Lovely Atmosphere
It has helped to create a lovely atmosphere for our customers to shop in and for our staff and volunteers to work in.
