FRMS - WHO ARE WE? The Federation of Recorded Music Societies (FRMS) can claim to have played its part in developing greater enthusiasm and understanding of recorded classical music over a substantial portion of the past century. As the "National Federation of Gramophone Societies", the Federation was launched in 1936. Although the title has been changed to reflect more recent developments, the aims of the movement have remained basically unaltered and the attraction is still present in the 21st century as over 200 societies continue to ply their trade. ...more.. ADVANTAGES OF AFFILIATION TO THE FRMS Our main function is to manage licensing arrangements with Performing Right Society Ltd (PRS) and Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) for the licences necessary for performing recorded music in public, on terms favourable to our members. The fees are greatly reduced from those normally applied by these organisations for individual licences. A particular benefit of this arrangement is that it is the society itself that is licensed and not the premises. This means that the society is covered for PRS and PPL wherever it chooses to meet. ,,,more... |
FEATURED LINK Every so often we will highlight one of the links on our Links Page for your special attention. Classic Records Quarterly is entirely and uniquely run by knowledgeable classical record enthusiasts, and it exists to serve all collectors who share our passions and interests. We publish articles on great artists of the past; histories of record companies and labels; tales of rare recordings; interviews with famous producers and transfer engineers, and much else. We offer collector news from the UK, the Far East, the USA and Europe; and we provide audio news and surveys of the latest reproducing equipment in all formats. We review new DVD and CD issues containing pre-digital material, and we also discuss new LP and 78rpm re-pressing |
