The Performing Rights Society was founded to protect, administer and distribute performance royalties, and since 1914 it has represented some of the finest composers, songwriters and music publishers in the world. To celebrate the Society’s centenary, this volume presents photographs and brief profiles of over 120 individuals and groups, including composers of music for film, singer-songwriters, jazz musicians, rock bands and classical composers, from Sir Hubert Parry and Sir Edward Elgar to Amy Winehouse and Ed Sheeran.
