In Ireland for example a venue pays a licence to the Irish musical rights organization once a year. The amount they pay is proportional to the venues size and capacity. Then a band does a gig there. They play a load of cover songs . But the band does not pay anything for playing them as this is covered by the venue.

Corduroy long road LBC I am mine etc. You won’t see him playing any of the others songs like footsteps or daughter or thin air. Acousticish songs but written by the lads Probably cos he doesn’t want to be seen making money off the other guys efforts. That’s only fair.

Boarded the plane for Dublin and something went wrong with the engines and they all had to get off the plane. Flight was cancelled. We all frantically tried to sort other flights for her. Aer Lingus went above and beyond on the phone and booked her on a flight goin to Dublin with only 20 minutes to gate closing time. She’d have a day or two for her bags to follow her to Dublin but she didn’t care. She just wanted to go to the gig. Lady on the phone was brilliant and put the booking through. Pal had the etickets and boarding pass on her email. She ran to the gate at Schipol and the woman at the desk wouldn’t let her through. Good few minutes to spare and nope. Cow at the gate refused totally to let her board. She’s devastated. Pretty much a massive waste of money, and missed the gig. I hope the bitch at the gate gets bitten by something with rabies.

Just got home to Galway, going to do a quick house clean, spend some time with the kids and pack the bags for London tomorrow.
