Fife musician James Yorkston tweeted about the Spotify Artist Fundraising Pick feature.
Fife folk musician and singer-songwriter James Yorkston sparked a lively Twitter exchange last week over a little-known Spotify app feature.
James, 50, whose latest album 
The Wide, Wide River was released earlier this year, tweeted last Monday: “I’m not a massive fan of Spotify, but since they’ve added that magic button where people can tip the musicians, I’ve seen a small stream of cash coming in. It’s most heartening.”
It was a seemingly-innocuous Tweet, but it has caused quite the stir. In just four days, it garnered more than 3,000 likes – and the comments show the “magic button” isn’t the only one being pushed.
