John Spalding RIP

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of our long standing MPA members John Spalding, Managing Director of Bocu Music, on Saturday 1 October 2011.

John’s career spanned over many decades and in the late 70’s included an appointment as International Vice President of Polar Music International AB.

Chris Butler, Chairman of the Music Publishers Association writes: “We are very sorry to note the death of John Spalding who died last week at the age of 76. John was one of the great independent publishers forming Bocu Music in the sixties, the company that owns the publishing rights to most of Abba’s songs in the UK and Ireland. He was well known to many of us and we offer our condolences to his family and friends.”

The funeral is due to take place on Monday 17 October.
