tojo Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Only mentioned the price of the drinks to point out to those who were complaining it certainly wasn't overpriced and breaking the bank. As i said, fantastic show, worth the money, what a voice!! hope all who goes tonight enjoy it too. Hopefully more acts will follow, its good that shetland is now attractive to artists whether music or comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 As an independant artist now he won't be allowed to use the "x factor" to promote himself nor legally be allowed to cover other artists songs like he did on the x factor (without some legal consent like lady gaga paparazzi) and will need to use his own material.This is not at all how things work. The expert in this field is peeriebryan so he may perhaps clarify the exact situation with respect to performing cover versions live. My understanding is that there is absolutely no restriction on the performance of cover versions live. Song copyright owners can not restrict in any way, though recording and subsequent release of performances is strictly controlled. Payment for live performance is covered by the general agreements between performance societies and venues, just as with pub jukeboxes, radio play etc. Don't really understand the whinging about the price - the costs involved in bringing these acts here must be really high.I got the feeling that people were moaning about the cost in relation to the duration rather than absolutely. I don't see how the cost of playing for 45 mins is likely to be different to playing double that. Consequently the impression that Mr Cardle is a somewhat lazy artist is bound to be raised.

quackquack Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 45min on stage, that's just taking the p**s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biglad Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 EM, maybe when/if he comes back in 10 years after having a fully fledged career he may sing for 90mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorie Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 My gripe is not with the price at all, I think £20 is great for a night out, just the length of performance. Matt was fantastic and I'd happily pay to see him again tonight. I always support these gigs when they are on and will continue to do so. Some people just love to take things out of context. Rant doneOver and out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biglad Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Well, I can honestly say Matt was brilliant as was support act Malachy Tallack but come on guys £20 for 50 minutes at most - what a rip off!!! Not pleased at all.......... Couldn't believe he lights came on at 9.20 and that was it OVER.My gripe is not with the price at all, I think £20 is great for a night out, just the length of performance.

Rant doneOver and out! Which one is it then? I Don't think I took anything out of context. I just gave an honest opinion about what people expect to get for £20 and what the reality, especially in this case is. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piddly Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 ^That wasn't meant to happen I think so many people get caught up in their rants on here that they forget what they've written - Good spot Biglad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Under £30/hour for a painter/decorator on a Fri or Sat night, I think you'll find that's very good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 And after all, what can you get for 20 quid nowadays - couple of rounds of drink in the pub, or a takeaway, or 36 toilet rolls..... Even after a takeaway curry, 36 toilet rolls last longer than 45 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 As an independant artist now he won't be allowed to use the "x factor" to promote himself nor legally be allowed to cover other artists songs like he did on the x factor (without some legal consent like lady gaga paparazzi) and will need to use his own material. As said, Bryan may have the answer but with the radio we pay the PRS a set fee per year and can play anything. We need to log what we have played but it is not used for sending royalties so to speak. The sad thing about that is many of the local bands do not get paid from the PRS takings. Them seems to be the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirvaluk Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Local bands will get paid by PRS if they are members.It is PPL that collect the radio airplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 So what did this Matt Cardle craetir do for the rest of the night ?, presumably he did not have a plane to catch so could easily have done say, " anidder twenty meenits ". !
