The Zutons make money from Amy Winehouse – Daily Ligger

Carl Barat, Lily Allen, Britney Spears, Kate Nash, Madonna – Your music gossip stop

Welcome to the Daily Ligger: your morning stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today’s top gossip:

The Zutons frontman, Dave McCabe, has apparently made so much dosh from Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse’s version of his track ‘Valerie’ he has been able to buy his first house. A source said: “Dave put a deposit down on a lovely big house in Liverpool with the royalties from the track. He’s been really chuffed and has been telling all his mates about the property. Initially it was strange for him and the band hearing one of their favourite songs done by someone else, but now they love Mark and Amy’s version and are hoping it’s a big hit in America.” (Daily Star)
