Countess - greed is greed no matter how you try to disguise it.

You want to be realistic? Nobody forced these performers to 'go pro'. It was their choice, and they are at the mercy of market forces. They knew what they were getting into. They wanted to make money. Some are lucky enough to do so, but to suggest that maybe concert venues are the only answer is plain stupid. You're off your trolley!!

If you read my posts you will realise that I am not a club organiser, and have not been for over twenty years... being involved in their running is different. I maintain the websites and perform as a 'resident'.

As someone once said... 'I refuse to be drawn into a battle of wits with someone who is unarmed...'
