Repertoire represents a growing collection of independent production music labels and presents them to the UK & Irish media in a coherent and creative fashion.

We are the farmers’ market of production music; presenting to you independently produced and owned, high quality organic music.

We are all about service and creativity, and invite you to use our free research and recommendation service online, offline and via good old fashioned one to one communication. Our collection is licensed via PRSforMusic (MCPS) whose 2009 rate card represents exceptional value for money.

We have many years’ experience researching music for film & television, and aim to turn around an individual brief within the hour if not immediately. We enjoy nothing more than answering the phone to the words “I’m looking for...” and encourage you to approach us that way for the fastest results.

Having just set up in 2008 we are very proud to already have our Search&Sync search engine live here on our website, as well as available on USB sticks and local media storage devices. You can register online, or we can register for you in an instant.

We still offer CDs for some of our catalogues but are predominantly a digital distributor, which we believe increases creative possibilities as well as being kinder on the environment. Register and talk to us and begin to decrease the CD mountain accumulating around you.

All the best,

Simon & Tim.

Simon James spent many years working with Music House, which merged into KPM in the late nineties. A familiar meedya gadabout, Simon took up a role with Zomba, subsequently BMGZomba in 2002, only to later return to EMI (KPM’s parent) to run the groundbreaking PLAY online music search system up until 2007.

Tim Hardy on the other hand was synonymous with KPM Music as General Manager over countless years. He has travelled far and wide in his search for good production music and a decent drink. He now professes to be deliriously happy to be working back in his spiritual home in Dean Street, Soho – specifically Repertoire HQ.

Production Music FAQs

Many TV productions are licensed under existing MCPS blanket schemes which cover the use of production music. These have been pre-negotiated by major broadcasters and often include arrangements for clearing secondary use (programme sales, internet and DVD).

Independent production companies may have existing IPC blanket licences with MCPS which facilitate use of all Repertoire music.

For enquiries regarding MCPS IPC blanket licences contact:

Phone 020 7306 4101
Email tvprogrammes@mcps.co.uk
Web www.prsformusic.com/productionmusic

You will need the following information when applying for a licence:

Track title, Composer name, Publisher (Label) name, Catalogue number and duration of each cue.

Accuracy of music reporting is important.
If you need to check track details or want further information please don’t hesitate to contact us on 020 7287 6171 or at info@repertoiremusic.com

Are you an editor, producer, media person who needs music?

Repertoire knows all the music on its independent labels. We can direct you to your track – pretty smartish and at no cost.

You just tell us what you want and we suggest tracks, compile bespoke CDs, USB memory sticks etc.

Once you’ve chosen which tracks to go with… we can help with licensing and admin…

Job Done. (Well – if only life was really that simple)

We want to ensure that you can find and licence whatever music you require - speedily and painlessly. It should be one of life’s more enjoyable experiences.

Both Simon and Tim have many years of experience in finding appropriate music for every possible scenario. Don’t hesitate to call us with a music brief and we will move heaven and earth to come up with the perfect fit.

Online, On HD, On CD/DVD, On Demand.

Search&Sync  Our primary creative outlet is now our SEARCH&SYNC online engine, with its offline sister app on drives and usb sticks. This allows you the luxury of perusing the catalogues, and finding that perfect track, without even straying from the comfort of your own desktop.

Playlists  Search&Sync playlists are available both online and offline, and we relish the opportunity to create you bespoke playlists in response to your requests.

Bespoke CDs/DVDs  We will compile tracks chosen especially for your production. Let us feed you some carefully selected music and you can try them out.

CD issues are still available on a number of our catalogues. We are still happy to supply them if that is your format of choice. Repertoire has an environment friendly policy and we will endeavour to only send CDs when and where required.

As champions of the professional musician and supporters of many friends who attempt to earn their living in an increasingly difficult and fickle market, we absolutely support and uphold the principals of copyright and seek to license our charges' lifeswork in the proper way.

Some companies seek to exploit those artists by buying out their royalty income stream for paltry sums, and selling it to you at ludicrously knock down rates. We believe this undervalues the service composers provide, and ultimately threatens the viability of composition for media as a career choice.

The upside of using such sources is sometimes the simplicity of licensing, so MCPS have now simplified their licensing procedures to make the process a whole lot easier, not to mention much better value.

So join with us and support fair trade for composers and musicians.

We are all music lovers, but for very few of us does music bring as much pleasure and respite as for people struggling with disabilities or suffering serious illness.

As the largest provider of music therapy in the UK, Nordoff-Robbins promotes communication, confidence and well-being through creative expression in active music-making, assisting children and adults whose days are much less privileged than those of us working in media.

It is a charity close to our hearts, and one which we support and hope to help and contribute to as we grow our business.

There is a lot of use of plastics, shipping, paper and a certain amount of regrettable waste arises in the conduct of our business. As we increasingly use digital supply chains this will reduce, and we urge our clients to move on from compact discs as soon as is practicable.

Meanwhile, to help offset the environmental impact of importing and distributing our CDs, we calculate the Co2 emissions using www.climatecare.org and offset them accordingly. Climate Care in turn invests the money in a variety of global Co2 reduction Projects.
