Nottingham’s Rock City waives merch cut at The Charlatans gig
16.05.2022 - 11:31 / nme.com
The Charlatans‘ Tim Burgess has said that Nottingham’s Rock City venue waived their traditional cut of merch sales during the band’s show at the venue last weekend.Burgess has been a frequent voice of opposition against venues that take a percentage of merchandise sales from artists, saying last year that “the whole system needs addressing”.After The Charlatans played the legendary Nottingham venue on Saturday night (May 14), Burgess tweeted that the venue had decided to give the percentage of money they would ordinarily take from merch sales and give it back to the band, saying it was “only fair”.Burgess tweeted: “An amazing thing happened last night. Rock City usually take a percentage of band merch income, just something they’ve always done.
But they’ve listened to what artists are saying and as we left they returned the cash to our merch guy, saying they felt it was only fair.“I’ve said before that this isn’t about money for The Charlatans but about fairness for artists and their fans – allowing them to keep an important part of the income from gigs,” he added. “So many venues don’t take a percentage and we think the others should follow their lead.”Burgess went on to add that the Manchester Ritz venue have also agreed to waive their fee for an upcoming gig by The Lovely Eggs.
“Common sense and fairness is starting to prevail,” he said.An amazing thing happened last night. Rock City usually take a percentage of band merch income, just something they’ve always done.
