> Musicians to Demonstrate in front of Record Label
>  The artists, who irreverently refer to themselves as "The Green Linnet
> Five," are planning to do a "sing-in" protest at the record label's
> headquarters in Danbury, Connecticut. This will be the first protest
> demonstration by recording artists against a label since the 1960's.
> "This protest is not just about the five of us - it's also about the
> countless other Irish artists who have also been stiffed but who can't
> afford to sue a company with the financial resources of Green Linnet,"
> said Mick Moloney, who is a professional musician, as well as a
> professor of Irish music at New York University. "We will sing some
> great old labor movement songs that were well known to the first
> generation of Irish immigrants in America," Moloney added. "It will be a
> great concert with an important message," Moloney said.
>
> "It would probably shock most Irish music fans to know that the artists
> who recorded their favorite Green Linnet albums have not been paid a
> dime for many years," said famed fiddle player Eileen Ivers. The Green
> Linnet Five hopes that their protest will cause the company to account
> and pay all of their artists the royalties, which are long overdue.
> Cherish the Ladies lead musician Joanie Madden said, "Green Linnet has
> gotten away with this outrageous behavior because Irish artists sat back
> and did nothing … well those days are officially over!"
