We used to set up a celtic oriented non drinking event the weekend before St. Patrick's Day called the Bar:None concert. We rented a VFW hall, advertised in the papers, and split the money, after rental expenses equally. We didn't always make much money after the rent was paid. However, we never had trouble finding musicians who wanted to play for a sober, listening audience. The VFW raised its rate too high, so we have not done it for awhile. Our high point was getting Les Barker to do a guest spot (he was staying at Kat Eggleston's when he was in the Chicago area, she was booked, and asked if it was ok to bring him). I asked him to start the second half. It did not escape my notice that the audience probably would have let him keep going, rather than have the rest of us come up. He did a great spot.
