Booking agent sues Lily Allen
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 9 September 2014
London booking agency EC1 has reportedly sued Lily Allen for allegedly breaching a 2012 agreement that would have seen the company and its director Alex Nightingale plotting the singer’s 2013 and 2014 touring activity.
According to the Mail On Sunday, Nightingale claims that Allen broke her contractual commitments when she switched allegiances to rival booking agency CAA, supposedly because she’d been told the bigger agency could secure her “higher gross fees” from promoters.
EC1 had already begun work on Allen’s proposed tour when it was told she was moving to CAA. The company is now suing for £100,000. But a spokesman for Allen has denied the allegations made against her, saying that the singer’s lawyers “will be defending the matter vigorously”.
