Chrismanbass Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 So i've just recorded finger clicks on a friend of mines album and it turns out that i get a credit as a musician as ancillary percussion Im not playing bass as well but the funny thing is that i get paid the same amount of PPL royalties if it gets released as the proper musicians easiest money i've ever earned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I recall reading about a well known music producer (can't remember his name but was in the SAW/Cowell league) who would insist on doing something similar to get on the credits list so that he could get a share of the royalties.

Zenitram Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 God I'd never thought about that. I'm on a Global Communication album from 20 years ago, doing a funny voice, which I did by phoning up Tom's answerphone and leaving a message. I wonder how much I'm due. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3f_HCmWzsg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) There was a chap on radio 2's pop master quiz this week who played triangle on "proper crimbo" - apparently he was told he wasn't very good at it though.

molan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm credited on a friend's album just for being a 'nice bloke' - I was paid in beer for being their roadie for a while. Theoretically not a great gig but I also got to roadie for U2 and Eurthmics at one point as part of the deal (neither of them gave me a credit though, lol).
