Instant Performing Licence (IPL) - add on

An Instant Performing Licence is the most economical way to ensure that your performances in a particular calendar year are licensed.  However:

  • An IPL may only be purchased at the time of buying a Director's Pack
  • An IPL is only applicable to performances where there is either a) no entry charge or b) the maximum charge/voluntary contribution is less than £1.50 per seat.
  • An IPL allows any number of performances within 12 months of the product purchase date. 
  • When purchasing an IPL there is no need to complete the performing licence application form, as a pop-up IPL add-on order button will appear when you order a Director's Pack.
  • An IPL won't apply (and therefore you'll need to request your performing licence via the order form on the product web page) if:
    a) the average ticket/contribution price is £1.50 or more or
    b) you bought a Director's Pack without a licence or
    c) you are performing the show in a subsequent calendar year.


PowerPoint Presentations (PPP) - add on

These have lyrics clearly laid out for use with data projectors, PCs, Macs and interactive whiteboards, with quick links to each song. Available for all our songbooks, cantatas and children's musicals once the product has been purchased.  PowerPoints are FREE to schools/organisations that have a CCLI licence (i.e. all state schools in the United Kingdom) on condition that you provide your URN and report your use of the songs on the CCLI website. (If you don't have a CCLI account, the PowerPoint cost is £10.00 per product.)  Either way, just email office@starshine.co.uk with your CCLI no. or request a £10.00 purchase invoice and the PPP will be emailed to you.  More information about PowerPoint Presentations HERE.
