Description
When you hear music in a shop, or restaurant, or on the radio, a small part of that business's revenue ends up in the pocket of the songwriters. The agency responsible for making that happen in Australia in New Zealand is APRA - now in its 100th year. And for the past 61 years, the organisation has been recognising the best songwriters, with the APRA Silver Scroll. Hugh Sundae reports.
