I'm looking forward to this Thursday's 1977 Top Of The Pops. According to Radio Times, this is the content: "Noel Edmonds presents an edition from January 20, 1977, the second week in which David Soul's Don't Give Up on Us topped the chart. The show also features performances by Slade, Leo Sayer, Donna Summer, Silver Convention, Jesse Green, Thin Lizzy, the Drifters and Gary Glitter, as well as dance troupe Legs & Co."

I had read it, and have now caught up with the "Daily Mirror" story.
www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2012/0...ial-115875-23714652/ (Copied here). Interestingly, they refer to paying GG royalties. JK, you might be able to throw some light on this. Will GG be paid a performance royalty? I'm aware that just before he was convicted in the UK, it was reported that he has sold all his recording and publishing royalty rights, so they no longer go to him. (Something the media neglect to point out as it spoils a good story!). But does he actually get any performance rights from a TOTP re-run? (And does it amount to much?).

I would think he does, yes, Dixie - but it's a tiny amount (£50?).

I recently had a talking review piece I did about a Michael Jackson concert rerun in a BBC Radio show (Sounds of the Century?) and got something like £25 for the repeat.

It must cost more in admin fees than you actually receive!
