Testimonials

“Alison has been a huge help and support to me over the last decade or so in my music. From negotiating awkward online album/single registration and copyright systems like PRS, MCPS and PPL, to sorting new album barcodes, ISRC codes, AP2 licences and more. Alison does the fulfilment for my CDs and merchandise via Bandcamp – packaging, posting and keeps careful track of all my online orders in a clear Google Doc spreadsheet. She has considerable knowledge and experience in the administrative music industry in Scotland, and is extremely reliable, efficient and personable. She has a great sense of humour which is essential when working within the administrative side of the music industry! Great to work with and highly recommended.”

“For several years now Alison has provided me with an invaluable customised publishing ‘service’! Though I can do most of the necessary tasks myself it’s so re-assuring to have someone who can sort the wee problems and make sure that we have a ‘royalty spring clean’ every now and then. I also have things I can’t cope with that just go straight into what I call the ‘Alison box’…couldn’t do without her!”

“Musicians often ask me questions about their releases.. how to register tracks, generate and keep track of codes, monitor the royalty income they generate, etc.. I tell everyone to get in touch with Alison at Maxwell Music!
Alison’s knowledge of PPL, PRS, MCPS and all admin related aspects of a physical and online release is incredible! She’s thorough and patient.. with Alison you know you’re in safe hands and things will always make sense!”

“The assistance that Maxwell Music has provided for my business over the last 8 years has been invaluable.  I have lost track of the amount of times that customers have got in touch to say how happy they are with the speedy delivery of my products. All my albums and books have been made possible to release with an ease that I never imagined, thanks to Alison’s expertise and efficiency.  I have been helped out countless times with queries about aspects of the music industry that it seems no one else is aware of.  It is no exaggeration to say that Maxwell Music has been essential in keeping my business running in a professional, coordinated and timely fashion.  And Alison does all of these things in the most incredibly calm manner.  She has the patience of a saint and the work she does is invaluable to me.  I can’t recommend Maxwell Music enough”

“Maxwell Music provides an invaluable source of information, advice and assistance. Alison has helped me immeasurably, both in the production of my album and in subsequent dealings with royalties, distribution and business associated with working in the music industry”

“When we at Castlesound Studios first heard of the setting up of Maxwell Music by Alison Smith we were so delighted that at last we had somewhere to direct the many enquiries we received from musicians of all backgrounds seeking help with the business part of safeguarding their music.  We knew it would be friendly, helpful, efficient, well-informed and reliable, in short a professional operation in every way.  And so it has proved.  It’s a unique and massively valuable service.”
