Stage fright has been the bane of my musical life... I can play much better at home than on stage. I get tensed up, muscles locked, fingers frozen, head tight, a brain freeze etc. It especially comes on in folk clubs, when i feel I'm being watched intently...

Anyone got suggestions on preventing it? So far I have tried visualization, breathing technique, having water close to hand, and having the lyric sheet to hand even when I know the words. These work to a certain extent but I still am far from relaxed...
