    When we did the gig I wasn't expecting to get paid, six of us in the band at £900 each (£450 per song performed live to the whole network), when the cheque arrived I thought it was just another royalty payment and didn't find out until later it was for CiN. Every performer and host throughout the BBC network that day got paid.

    Are you suggesting there was a link?

    Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be reminded that we're extremely lucky.
