Alternatively, you may wish to contact the Music Librarian with your enquiry or request. All requests to hire material must be accompanied by a completed Music Request Form (see below to download).
  • We appreciate at least ten working days’ notice for requests. A priority fee (charged per set) will apply to all orders required less than ten working days after the Music Request Form is received.
  • Details of hire charges can be downloaded below. Standard hirers are required to pay a deposit per set which is refundable when the music is returned intact. Associates and Subscribers are exempt from paying deposits.
  • An invoice for the total hire charges will be sent to the hirer after a formal request has been made. Please wait for the invoice before sending payment.
  • For Standard hirers, full payment is required before the music can be issued. Associates and Subscribers are not required to prepay. Payment can be made by cash (if collected in person), cheque, electronic transfer (EFT) or credit card.
