The royalties go to the songwriter. The only case in which the recording artist gets paid is a record deal, wherein the record company pays the recording artist based on sales.

Yes. Any venue that plays music is probably playing copyrighted music and has to pay royalties to ASCAP/BMI. http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-WIKI/Licensing-&-Royalties/Public-Performance-Royalties-and-Licenses.html

Here's an interesting fact about tennis: tennis used to be played only by British royalties. Not anymore!

Slow Ride was written and recorded by Foghat and was on their fifth album, titled Fools for the City.
Good question. No they don't. The men of course get their royalties from all the music that they wrote and recorded. I'm not sure on ABBA merchandise such as T-shirts with the ABBA name. The women may get a percentage of that.
"Go Cubs Go" was written & recorded by Steve Goodman in early 1984 and played regularly during that, and subsequent seasons.
The record company that makes the album should be sending you royalty checks if you have signed a contract as produced of a song they publish. If you produced the song for a flat fee with no sales percentage split in a contract, you can't collect royalties. In the US, companies like ASCAP distribute royalties for songs played on tv and radio. In Canada, SOCAN does the same.
Les played drums for Ashford Kent band the Les Vogues around the mid sixties
If a song you have written is performed in public or on TV you are entitled to a fee. You get a small fee every time the song is played or - in the case of a play you wrote - every time it is performed. This is also called residual income because it comes in long after you do the initial work.
Song writers do not receive much in royalties for writing a song they receive about 9 cents for a song if it gets put on a CD and also get paid for when it's played in concerts, theaters, etc. But if they make on average about $5000 a year in royalties but $5000 is better than nothing. And if their song is a a million dollar record they receive a little over $22,000 for that song.
