The events will be free to attend. An event could be a demonstration, round table, expert panel, or a tour to showcase across all business sectors.
“Any businesses interested need to submit their event idea via the online form with the details including venue, times, objective of the event. A panel of people on behalf of the festival choose the final line-up.
At PPL PRS, we are immensely proud of having our home here in Leicester and being a part of the music scene. We love getting involved with Leicester events sand supporting businesses to use live music, radio, television in their workplaces by ensuring they have TheMusicLicence. We are not for profit – so after our operating costs, the fee for the licence goes back to the musicians themselves.
“There is a fantastic music scene in Leicester and music plays an important role in wellbeing for people professionally and personally.”
