Subject: RE: Why do folk clubs charge admission fees?
Myself and DtG along with another person make an absolute fortune from Swinton Folk Club. That's why we all drive Beamers and Mercs and own holiday homes in Barbados. It's a doddle. All you have to do is make 40 people pay £100 each per night to watch an artist, pay said artist peanuts (say £70) and bingo. £200K p.a.split three ways (and we been running now for 25 years.)
