JACK, like you I cant be bothered, I have had a good night playing music with friends in an irish pub,
sometimes I think about retiring from the english folk scene, I certainly havent made much money out of it, I have had a couple of broken relationhips/marriage, I suppose I just like playing in folk clubs and making music , it gives me aa chance to do a different repertoire from when i am in ireland ,and i suppose i love english trad songs, making money, if i wanted to make money I would have done something else.
I used to be a newsagent and i made money but it was so boring
