“Music brings shops to life, at all times of the year.”
Playing music in your shop can:
- Attract customers and encourage them to stay longer
- Create an atmosphere that encourages repeat visits
- Help to reflect your brand
You will need a licence from PRS for Music to cover music played in your business. Our licence gives you the legal permission you need to play the songs you want.

- Radios, CD/MP3 players, digital music systems
