ARE YOU A MUSICAL GENIUS?

Posted on: Tue 24 Feb 2009

Latics chiefs are looking for original run-out and goal celebration music after being hit with a steep bill from the Performing Rights Society.

PRS bills each Football League club each season for usage of music clips - and the club were stunned this week when they were hit with massive price increases.

Run-out and goal celebration music is distinct from general background music used in the stadium, which remains chargeable at the same rate.

PRS have increased their prices by a stunning SIX HUNDRED PER CENT - and managing director Simon Corney has been left furious by the "extortionate" price hike.

"As a club we cannot understand how an organisation can raise their prices by so much," stormed Corney, who has put a block on paying the extra money for goal and run-out music.

"We will continue to pay the base rate for usage of general music but I cannot tolerate a 600% increase for goal and run-out music.

"Therefore I'm looking for any fans who can provide us with any copyright-permissable music to use in these situations!

"It's a great opportunity for fans to show us what they can do because we will certainly not be held to ransom by PRS."

Any fans who can help can send their submissions to stuart.vose@oldhamathletic.co.uk.  The best will be featured right here on oldhamathletic.co.uk for fans to choose from!
