A massive SYNCH deal for one of our copyrights for a major Hollywood movie; cash just received.
By a company, of course; not by me. Ever since 1965 I've made sure I earn very little.
The False Allegations in 2001 cost me a million quid to defend myself; all the money I'd personally saved for my old age (in those days it was 10% interest on capital).
Since then I've had to rely on others; thank heavens for friends, supporters and companies - and, of course, Legal Aid.
Not easy to get; they go through everything in detail and, if your trial is lost, they hit you for hundreds of thousands.
But thanks to past monsters, surprise income pops up frequently.
One of my smaller hits from the early 70s - used in full in the film; we are talking LoadsAMoney!

Is it the kung foo one? That sounds as if it should be a theme tune. Maybe it was?

No but I agree Honey, my Kung Fu Theme was perfect to be a theme as I'll Slap Your Face was (and became - for Ent USA). And Sex Appeal (No Limits).

I hope it is Hey Jim, that song is awesome along with Brother John. No idea if either hits but they are both good for films.

Brother John is a good song to base a film on.

Congrats!

Good for you!!!

That’s a Good News Week but are you able to tell us which little ditty made you a small fortune

Luckily quite a lot pop up every now and then - a coupe of years ago Everyone's Gone To The Moon was featured at the end of a Netflix space movie - I get messages every day about it and the other day a taxi driver went on about it for hours!

Sorry, I am missing the point, I know, but why on earth were you in a taxi for hours? Do you think this might be why you are hard up?

I'm sorry Honey - about 20 mins of which a few seconds were spent discussing the movie!
