Can we order ?The Grumpy Sheep? from you?
This has to be our most commonly asked question! Unfortunately, no, you can?t. Caroline Hoile wrote The Grumpy Sheep, but it was before Grumpy Sheep Music came into existence. The Grumpy Sheep is published by Golden Apple and available from music shops.
Do you offer inspection copies?
Sorry, we do not. We try, however to make our website as comprehensive as possible, in order to help you make your choice. Many music shops also stock our material for you to see. And you can always call us to ask advice on 0191 2399229. We?re more than happy to help!
What does each book & CD package include?
Each of our musicals comes complete with story, lyrics, simple piano accompaniment and guitar chords. Each book includes a CD with a full vocal version of the songs for rehearsals and professionally arranged backing tracks for performance. Just about everything you need for a wonderful performance!
Do you produce a more formal playscript?
Some musicals do have a playscript insert available. In the playscript, the story and wording remains exactly the same, but individual parts have been separately created.
Can we buy replacement CD?s separately?
The book and CD is sold as a package. However, from time to time we get requests for replacement CD?s, when the initial CD has been damaged or is missing. Please note, we only issue replacement CD?s if you have previously bought the complete book & CD pack. Please contact us directly should the need for a replacement CD arise.
How flexible are the numbers of parts in Grumpy Sheep musicals?
Very, very, flexible! You can perform each musical with a very small cast, or include very large groups of children. There are no limits to the numbers of, for example, stars, angels, shepherds and sheep that can be accommodated!
Can we change the story, script or music?
Grumpy Sheep Music stories/scripts are easily adaptable to the particular needs of your nursery or school. You do not need to notify us about small changes you make to the story or script. However you do need to obtain our permission should you wish to alter song lyrics or the music.
Do we need a performing licence to perform a Grumpy Sheep musical?
Yes you do. If you perform a work which involves spoken dialogue/narrative, movement and drama, a Performing Rights Licence (PRL) is needed from the publisher. The PRL will be issued for the performance of a specific work on the dates specified only. It protects your school/organisation against any infringement of copyright. Please see our Licensing and Copyright section for more complete information.
My school holds a PRS licence. Do I still need a performing licence?
Yes you do. The PRS licence does not cover the performance of musicals. A performing rights licence is required from the publisher of the musical you intend to perform.
Is my school allowed to make video or sound recordings?
Yes, but please let Grumpy Sheep Music know in advance how many copies you intend to make, or have made for you, so that the appropriate licence and licence fee can be issued. Please contact us for further information.
Do you supply music to schools only?
We mostly supply our music to schools, nurseries and church groups, but frequently get requests from parents and grandparents to purchase our music too! We do require payment to accompany a private order though.
Can you invoice my school?
Payment must be made at the time of ordering. State schools in the UK, however, may be issued with an invoice which requires payment strictly within 14 days.
Do you accept returns?
Grumpy Sheep Music does not accept returns unless a product is discovered to be faulty upon delivery and we have been informed as such straight away. In the unlikely event that a book or CD is shown to be faulty, please contact us immediately.
How long will my order take to arrive?
We process all orders in the order that they are received. You should usually receive your music within 7 working days of us receiving your order. We are especially busy, however, from September to December, when it may take up to 10 working days for your order to be delivered, after we have received it.
