Members of the Musicians Union of Ireland (MUI ) held a protest at the Watergate Theatre in Kilkenny last week where singer Tommy Fleming was performing.
The MUI in a statement said that the protest followed the refusal by Tommy Fleming and his company, TF Productions, to pay fees owed to a musician he contracted to perform with him last year.
Earlier this year, the Labour Court ruled that TF Productions owed €4,600 to the musician after she was told just hours before she was due to go on a three month tour with Tommy Fleming in 2009 that she was no longer required.
TF Productions has refused to pay the money due and the MUI (affiliated to SIPTU ) are highlighting the issue at Tommy Fleming’s concerts around the country.
