Business News Deals Labels & Publishers
Hal Leonard and EMI UK announce deal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 December 2010
Sheet music publishers Hal Leonard have announced a new deal with EMI Music Publishing UK which will see the US-based firm produce printed products around songs on the music major’s UK publishing catalogue. Hal Leonard’s new London office will handle the partnership, with European subsidiary Hal Leonard Europe overseeing distribution.
And if you don’t believe me, may I present EMI Publishing UK’s big cheese Guy Moot to say these words: “We are thrilled to entrust our catalogue to Hal Leonard. No other music print publisher can match the level of innovation that Hal Leonard exhibits in connecting songs with an audience, or the quality of craftsmanship in its products”.
Hal Leonard’s European sales and marketing man Mark Mumford added: “EMI Music Publishing is home to some of the most successful songwriters of all time. Our companies have enjoyed a long and lucrative relationship, and we’re most eager to enter the latest leg of the adventure – expanding and accelerating the print presence of EMI writers throughout Europe”.
