Belfast music legend Van Morrison reaped a dividend from the reopening of the live music industry last year as accumulated profits at his music company increased by £572,316 (€647,577).
New accounts filed by Morrison’s Exile Productions Ltd show that accumulated profits climbed from £7.3 million to £7.8 million in the 12 months to the end of April 30th, 2022.
The company’s cash funds increased from £6.7 million to £6.8 million during the same period.
The jump in profits coincided with the live entertainment music business reopening as Covid-19 restrictions eased. Profits had fallen by £834,877 in the previous year.
