Subject: Help - Selling your own CD - Advice Plea
After supplying a few CDs to relations and friends, I have decided to sell some at my gigs, in the UK, or on the Internet and I need a bit of help. I've just started to fill in an application for licence in order to pay royalties etc. and could do with some advice about the following tracks.
Star of The County Down. Is it traditional? If it isn't...who wrote it? If it is, do I put down "trad/arr myself"? Public domain?
Galway Bay, written by Francis Fahy. Is the correct title "My Own Dear Galway Bay"?
The Bard Of Armagh, "trad/arr myself"? Public domain?
The Rocks Of Bawn, "trad/arr myself"? Public domain?
Catch Me If You Can. (Yes I know it's a naff song but it does show that I do alternative stuff if required!) Was this one based around called (Turn Out The Light and) Love Me Tonight by Bob McDill? I mean did somebody take this tune and give it silly Irish lyrics?
Follow Me Up To Carlow written by Patrick Joseph McCall. Is the air Public domain?
Also, what would be the best way to accept payment on the Internet? (I already have a website) Have any of you done this yourselves?
