yeh and you could lead a life of piety. die - go to heaven. come back as a visitation from the celestial city and appear in a blaze of glory and a puff of smoke - and the chances are they'd still say, very nice would you like to come back and play for nothing next week as well......?

Okay here's the lowdown:-

there are three dj's. two agents. You will find their names out if you look or ask anyone face to face.

Otherwise the only people on the scene making even a vestige of a living have been here since at least the early 1970's and really preferably a bit longer than that.

there are people with monstrous amounts of talent and the work ethic of a hebrew slave who never get a look in.

getting a break in the UK pop/showbiz scene is a breeze compared to the folk world.

The folkworld is a great place to get started as a performer. You can find out if you've got the bottle to perform there. Otherwise don't go near it. It will kill your ambition and talent and break you heart.
