PCAM strongly opposes any attempts to undermine composers’ rights and is looking into the situation. We will be liaising with PRS For Music to understand the outcome of their investigation and will update accordingly.

These allegations mean there could be a major potential threat to our livelihoods.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the crash.
Jonathan was the founder of the Goldstein Music Group and worked on music for high-profile advertising campaigns as well as music for film and broadcast.
Jonathan Goldstein, the Chair of PCAM from 2006 to 2011, died tragically on Sunday 25th August along with his wife Hannah and seven-month-old baby daughter Saskia when the light aircraft that he was piloting crashed in the Simplon Valley in Switzerland while en route to Italy.
