Well, two of my very best friends are a duo and an excellent one, in the final of the National Open Mic contest. But the the statement 'duos better than solos' ranks alongside the most Ignorant/stupid/nonsensical on this site. If you choose to be a duo/solo/group the pay is the same so just deal with it, thinking it somehow makes you 'better' shows me you shouldn't be paid at all! who would want to book someone with such a bad attitude!
