Members of Scotland’s Nevis Ensemble, which went bust a year ago, have been awarded £30,500 in court for unpaid wages and breach of contract. The sum will have to be divided between 17 players.

Nevis, founded in 2018, gave more than 700 performances to an aggregate audience of 200,000.

Comments

  • V.Lind says:

    That’s under £2000 each. What were these people earning?

  • Suzy O'SHEA-NATHANIEL says:

    That is a disgracefully low award for compensation. That is not even £1,500 each. What was this judge thinking of. They ought to appeal his decision.
