Rob Maxtone Graham Getting Paid to Run a session (21) RE: Getting Paid to Run a session 08 Jan 00


Hi, Folks -- one of the best led sessions I know (The Antiquary, Edinburgh, Thursdays), rotates its leaders, to give all the best players a shot at the dosh; all musicians get a free pint and the organiser gets wedged for spreading flyers etc. This allows improving musicians an occasional shot at leading a session - often co-opted at the last minute, when someone cries off. One of the problems with rural sessions (and country pubs often have the best atmospheres) is the ol' drink-drive. Seek out pubs with cheap rooms, and work a deal with the landlord for musos to get a special rate - they'll usually drink the difference, anyway! If, like me, you've got kids, sometimes it's the only way to attend sessions. Any body out there know any good Scots/UK pubs?
