GUEST,Mark Stevens	How can a folkie make a living? (120* d)	RE: How can a folkie make a living?	24 Oct 09
Busking. Blagging gigs at pubs that you can negotiate proper payment. By NOT playing boring 'we don't know this song' folk music to the general public ! Give the public what they what, give them The Wild Rover till the cows come 'ome. Folk-erize pop songs: Buddy Holly, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, The Kinks, Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Forget about the Musician's Union, what have they ever done for me ? Forget about Folk Clubs, they're full of b.o.fs and yoghurt knitters. That's my personal experience, anyway. You may disagree.
