Tom Dunne: As Billy Nomates can testify, festivals aren't always fun for artists 

While the debate around fees swirls in the media, it's worth remembering that it isn't just the world of TV where there are anomalies 

Billy Nomates received a pile of abuse online after her set at Glastonbury. 

With artist’s fees being pretty much the flavour of the month at the moment – how much was paid by whom to who and who knew – it’s nice to reflect on how things are in the music industry. Here it is a very different story. Here, just getting paid at all can be a minor miracle.

Very often we would be happy to see any amount of money go into any account through any intermediary; transparent, opaque, hidden, or otherwise as long as, at some point, it could be used to buy food.
