I'd be interested in knowing more about this. Awhile back I posted something about record labels and it was mentioned that the Kennedy Family had had a major problem with Green Linnet (they didn't get paid!)and I've heard rumours of other artists, too, who got stiffed. I don't know if that ever came to the point of a lawsuit. Mind you there may be a Green Linnet side, too - disputes about advances, etc. |

From: artbrooks For what its worth, there is no mention of this on either the Green Linnet or the Local 1000 web sites. BTW, the Green Linnet site is a great place to go for music to listen to while surfing...a lot of their albums are available "live". |

From: GUEST In the Newsletter section of John McCutcheon's website (he is current(?) president of Musicians Local 1000), and at the e-tradnet website for Irish musicians, currently being updated by Steve Cooney. Sorry I don't have the bookmarked sites to hand, I'm at a different computer, but if no one posts the links, I'll do it as soon as I can. BTW, neither of the websites (McCutcheon's or tradnet) have much beyond a mention of it, and a web search proved fruitless. Which is why I asked here. I too have heard many horror stories about musicians getting a bad deal from Green Linnet. |

From: DebC There is mention of something brewing on Pete and Maura Kennedy's website, but it seems to have been a while ago. Go to this website and scroll down to "Chapter 6: 1997. It's in the third paragraph. Where this is now, I don't know. Deb (just the messenger) |
