30.5.2008 Your band will generally need permission to play music in public. An APRA licence will cover you for almost all music and lyrics. Many venues will already have a licence with APRA. If you think the venue your band is playing at may not be covered, you can arrange for appropriate licences with APRA just to cover your event.
