the People : Industry Agreements (Musicians, In-House BBC,
12)
The agreement also caters for the recording or live transmission
of performances by the categories of musician covered by it promoted by organisations
other than the BBC, and of short items from such performances for inclusion
in programmes of any kind. For short items, there are two levels of fee: for
items not exceeding 5 minutes duration, and recorded in a session not
exceeding one hour; and for items not exceeding 10 minutes duration,
recorded in a session not exceeding two hours.
The
agreement specifies fees payable to directors of music, organists, assistant
organists, lay clerks and choristers in cathedrals and churches of similar
status (except the lay clerks of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral
and St Pauls Cathedral, for whom fees and terms are negotiated by Equity,
and described in the section dealing with Chorus Singers in the Actors
section of these pages). Musicians of this kind are engaged by the day, for
the working patterns described at the start of this section.
