Leadfingers said "Small Folk Clubs , even today VERY rarely charge any thing like £10 for admission ". Thanks for that comment O F F is one such small club. A good audience today is 15 people paying £5 to £7.00 to see a good range of guests, but no true super stars. I know that I can't afford to pay the fees, There are performers who will fill the club, but the audience will only be for that person. Other times most of them don't attend. Even so, I will endeavour to get the best value I can from every booking . One thing I do promise is a guaranteed minimum fee against 100% of the door, whichever is greater. I always am booked one year in advance, and though I lose money sometimes , we manage to tick over. I'll say one thing in defence of clubs (not artists) who charge £10.00. They may have to pay for the room. I do to, but very little.
