Some Velvet Morning to play rooftop gig

Some Velvet Morning will be performing on the roof of PRS for Music's central London office today - forty years to the day since The Beatles famously took their final bow on the rooftop of Apple’s HQ in 1969.

The intimate, sky high will be enjoyed by a small group of media onlookers, whose curiosity was sparked by the historic timing of the event.

Some Velvet Morning will be one of the only bands in the last 20 years to play on a roof top in central London - not to mention being the first ever to play on top of the PRS for Music building.

After the central London gig, the band will return to terra firma for a tour of UK universities.

The band’s performances are designed to educate as well as entertain, raising awareness of the work of PRS for Music.

Some Velvet Morning manager James Wilkinson is very enthusiastic about the gig, which is being filmed for a forthcoming documentary. He said, ‘This is a unique opportunity for Some Velvet Morning to increase awareness of music rights and the role copyright plays within the music industry.’
