I have been involved in a couple of folkie type things in my time and I can assure you that the money that is being offered is small potato. One festival I know of, if it turned over week in week out what it turns over for the period of the festival would be in the FTSE 100 and that is all done by volunteers, huge responsibility, for if you are lucky thanks well done good festival, more often than not, its this is not right thats not right and aggro.Please dont begrudge someone a reward for doing a difficult job with the added bonus that with the reward comes the buck stops with you very publically and if you are not succesfull everyone will know and casticate you.In my opinion whoever takes it on is a very very brave person and good luck to them and every organiser.
