Even being the part-timers that we are (The Duncan McFarlane Band) ...we have been asked to provide our 'rider' for a major Folk Fest! It being a summer fset, we merely asked that there would be some bottled water available!!! ..but I do seem to remember, one time, being offered, and subsequently well fed by, a slap-up meal at Faldingworth! - Thanks Villan! Funny, though.... Having close contact with one particular Fest-Organiser, I have actually knowledge of an extravagant rider presented on behalf of one VERY well-known pro band for our wee local fest! Extraordinary demands! - particular stipulations for large amounts of wine and spirits, for one thing! Thing was - he and I both know a member of that band, and asked him about the 'rider'. It seems their 'agent/management makes the demands - the band knew nothing of its extent! Funny, that!
