Last week, Nicky Graham, Chairman of the Members’ Fund left a tribute at Marc Bolan’s memorial in Barnes, London, to commemorate 42 years since Marc’s sad passing. The memorial, donated by PRS in 1997, pays respects to Marc’s ‘outstanding contribution to British music’. The Fund is a beneficiary of Marc’s royalties, which has allowed us to help thousands of songwriters and composers in times of need.
