You can see why most ceilidh band members are not members. Sorry Dave, but you must be lucky (and talented)to earn a decent amount to enable paying these fees.

Re the toilet quote, quite true. We (Ceilidh bands) usually come cheap compared to the scale of things. We did a big gig, one of those "suits cost £100's". The auction that took place half way through, to raise money for the charity, for sometimes almost worthless articles, and tickets was incredible. People paid £2000+ for a trinket or to sit in some box at a soccer match. Not complaining about our fee (Less than £100.00 each after expenses for almost 8 hours inlcuding packing, travelling, setting up, down time, playing, stripping out, travelling and unpacking) but each person paid more we got for their ticket and dinner. We had a great night and you can't put a price on that.
