Throughout October and November, visitors to a selection of Sue Ryder's charity shops nationwide will be entertained by Chris Ford, during a series of live music performances. Chris, who cites his musical influences as including Bruce Springsteen and Nick Drake, will use one of Sue Ryder's signature guitars during his tour.

The free-to-attend gigs are taking place to encourage people to visit Sue Ryder's shops, as well as raise awareness of how money raised in its shops is vital to support the charity provide end of life and long term care to thousands of people each year.


This from the PRS magazine. It is no doubt a good way to ensure that all these shops obtain PRS licences but I wonder if anyone has obtained Entertainment Permission. From the photo, the performance appears to be amplified and as a named performer is being advertised (according to the latest guidance document) it cannot qualify as exempt under the incidental exemption.
