Sheridans Acts for Peer Music in Carter & Sunny Acquisitions
Sheridans is proud to act for leading independent music publisher, Peer Music UK and to have assisted them in their recent acquisition of the John Carter Music Catalogue along with its sister record label, Sunny Records.
The deal sees British songwriter, Carter, sign over worldwide rights to his entire catalogue which includes the master rights to 60’s and 70’s hits such as “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat” by Herman’s Hermits, “Beach Baby” by First Class, and “Funny How Love Can Be” by Ivy League.
John Carter Music and the Sunny Records catalogues join Peer’s already impressive publishing roster which features Malcolm McLaren, Newton Faulkner, Grammy winner Rob Davis, former Spice Girl, Melanie C and Steve Mac, writer of recent chart topping singles by JLS and The Wanted.
Sheridans was instructed by Nigel Elderton, Managing Director of Peer Music, and the deal was led by the firm’s Head of Music, Theatre and Media, Russell Roberts, assisted by Corporate associate, Mark Baynes.
