I see Other Voices are boarding the Prick Ship.

Apologies to Other Voices who have today clarified that each and every act offered a place are also offered accomodation, catering and a small fee for playing. A huge relief to all artists playing/being asked to play I'm sure. 🖒

So confused, SOMEONE is lying. #OtherVoices #HilaryWoods

What's another year? (or 4)

Are bands in Ireland still playing gigs for free? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #SayNo

Pay Irish Bands We've been over this. They ask to play, would you prefer we didn't book them? We pay production & hospitality, it's not free!

Unlesa we can identify the problem and the problematic festivals we can't help change the attitude. We've had great success in a sea change.

To all artists/bands currently struggling for any respect from Body&Soul stay strong. See how their festival goes with the free acts.

Please let us know if you do run a festival that does pay all the acts.Will be good to sort the men/women from the boys/girls #payirishbands

Hugely disappointing that Body&Soul think it's ok not to pay some artists on their bill.

Hats off to the new Canalaphonic festival in Dublin. A huge success AND they paid all the bands. Shows what can be done! #PayIrishBands

Ok. 1 #VoterMotor seat in my car taken, 3 left. Going from Dublin Airport to Limerick at 4pm if you need a lift to #UseYourVote

To Irish acts playing for free Body&Soul this wkd.We understand yr hunger but you are being taken advantage of & letting down yr trade

Huge queue for the bag check #bodyandsoul at least an hour I reckon

Seems like Body&Soul are even treating the fans like the bands now. x.com/cecida/status/…

Irish acts playing for free at this weekend's many boutique, for-profit festivals. Steal something, go large! Enjoy...

As we fall headlong into another badly paid festival season for bands, think 'WHAT WOULD BOWIE AND PRINCE DO?' Don't whore yourself for cans

Very few journalists consistently went to bat for Independent Irish bands on a national level as much as Jim Carroll. Thanks OTR and Jim. x.com/byjimcarroll/s…
