  • 1.  Music licensing

    Posted 02-07-2023 09:47
    Hi everyone.  I hope you're all doing well.  I'm doing a play called John Lennon & Me by Cherie Bennett and in it the playwright suggests some Beatles songs that would go well in specific scenes or transitions, curtain call, etc..  Does anyone know how one would go about acquiring a license for Beatles songs.  I've read that there are different publishers for the different eras  of Beatles tunes.  Just wondering if anyone on here has had experience with this kinda stuff.

    Thanks.

    The rights to use of the Lennon/McCartney song catalog is now controlled and administered by Epic Rights. 
    Of course, Ringo wrote a couple, as did George.  I believe that George is still under Northern Music.
