DEALS
FUGA has announced a deal that will see it provide content delivery services to the Beggars Group. Merlin members like Beggars need partners to help them deliver their music to digital services. Says FUGA boss Pieter van Rijn: “As one of the most influential label groups in both the UK and global independent music, Beggars Group is an incredibly exciting addition to our international clients, with FUGA now a route to market for a significant portion of the world’s new releases”.
Tempo Music – an affiliate of Providence Equity Partners that invests in music rights – has done a deal with Korn, acquiring a majority stake in the recording and song rights on two of the band’s albums: 2005’s ‘See You On The Other Side’ and their untitled 2007 album. The investment firm has also acquired royalty rights on the band’s ‘MTV Unplugged’ record. Korn are “still creatively ambitious and hardworking after almost 30 years together, which is hugely inspiring”, says Tempo Music boss Josh Empson.
The Round Hill Music Royalty Fund has announced a deal to administer the neighbouring rights income (or performing rights income, if you prefer) on the recordings of former Supertramp members Dougie Thomson, Bob Siebenberg and John Helliwell. “As a rock fan and guitarist myself I am really pleased to announce this latest deal”, declares Round Hill CEO Josh Gruss.
