A survey conducted by PRS for Music, the organisation that represents songwriters, composers and music publishers, has revealed the UK's vote for party conference songs. Last year the Gordon Brown walked on stage with Jackie Wilson's Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher. However, in the survey of over 1,000 people, Elton John's Sorry seems to be the hardest word was voted as most popular suggestion for the entrance of the Prime Minister this year. Labour Party - most voted songs: Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Elton John Tragedy - Steps So Sad - George Harrison Die Another Day - Madonna Conservative Party - most voted songs: Money, Money, Money - ABBA I could be so good for you - Dennis Waterman We are the champions - Queen The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades - Timbuk3 Liberal Democrat Party - most voted songs: When will I be famous - Bros Moving on up - M People For once in my life - Stevie Wonder Working 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton Ellis Rich, chairman of PRS for Music comments: 'Politics and music have a long-standing reputation of going hand in hand. Many famous artists have expressed their political voice through the medium of music, whilst many politicians have used music as a platform to address their audience. The song which each party leader ultimately decides to use could have a significant impact on the outcome of the upcoming elections'. |

PRS for Music has launched a unique scheme to celebrate UK music venues which have played a pivotal role in launching the careers of some of the countrys best-loved and iconic music acts.
The PRS for Music Heritage Award scheme honours the performance birthplaces of legendary bands, artists and songwriters - as well as recognising the network of pubs, clubs and live music venues that have been integral in providing a training ground for the best of UK music talent. The scheme launches by unveiling a commemorative plaque to Blur at the site of their first ever gig in the Goods Yard of the East Anglian Railway Museum, Colchester. The plaque unveiling took place on Monday 30 November. Hot on its heels will follow another Heritage Award celebration, this time to Dire Straits whose musical birthplace was outside a block of flats in Deptford, South-East London. There are more UK-wide Heritage Awards in the planning which will be charted on a special interactive map - and this is where you come in. If you, your friends or your family members were at the first gig of an act you think PRS for Music should recognise in this way, please email heritage@prsformusic.com. Or if you have photos, memorabilia or merchandise from any of these "musical birthplaces", PRS for Music would love to hear from you. If we make an award based on your suggestion, we promise to invite you to the celebration.
