GUEST,wordy Earning a living in Folk (235* d) RE: Earning a living in Folk 26 Jun 08


I think Betsy's post above is very insightful and I would endorse her views. However, with someone on tonight's news saying petrol could hit £2.00 a litre by the end of the year I think all arguements will become academic. There will be no clubs left for pro artists to work as the audience won't travel any distance or be able to afford the entrance fee. All costs of living will rocket through the roof. Cds will become a luxury item.The one night stand gig 200 miles from home becomes impossibly expensive for all but the concert artists, and even they will have to try to arrange tours that use the least petrol between gigs. I fear the world we knew is ending and the new world is circumscribed, chilly and well nigh unaffordable.
Wassail!
