Composers' Club
A message from Jools Holland, Prince's Trust
Ambassador:
"I want to introduce you to a brilliantly simple new idea-
The Prince's Trust Composers' Club. It's a great way for successful
people in the music business- like you- to give something back to
the community. Best of all, it needn't cost you a penny.
I've been supporting The Trust for more than 20 years and I've
seen first hand the tremendous difference it makes- helping change
young lives across the UK. In fact, The Trust helps 100 more young
people each day of the year, helping them to realise their
potential and, often, to completely change their lives.
The great thing about The Prince's Trust is that it is always
finding creative ways to raise money. It was one of the first
charities to organise major fundraising concerts. More than a
million people have attended The Trust's live concerts, which have
been broadcast in 120 countries. I've appeared in a few myself, and
they've always been tremendous fun and extremely well
organised.
Now The Trust has set up its own music publishing business and
within that has launched its Composers' Club of which I'm proud to
be a founding member. There's no membership fee, you just let
Prince's Trust Music publish one of your songs or compositions per
year. You continue to collect your royalties, but the publisher's
share goes entirely to The Prince's Trust to help change more young
lives.
This is the first 'good-cause' music publishing company in the
UK and it's run by a professional team with years of industry
experience. They don't need your entire catalogue-just one song
will make a difference.
What's more, through The Prince's Trust's exceptional network of
leading figures in the music industry, your work will gain exposure
amongst a wider audience and could reach new markets. They only
raise funds if you make money too.
So I urge you to join me in the Prince's Trust Composers' Club.
It's the new forum for people in our industry and together we can
make a hell of a difference."
