Gentle Colleagues:

One thing that I'm finding about Sonicbids, is, that, as with Debra Cowan, I (and Larry Hanks), sing FOLK music, and several of the desirable FOLK festivals are now exclusively using Sonicbids for applications.

It's kind of disappointing, as if the festivals are now in collusion with this moneymaking scheme which seems to prey mostly on the musicians, and not get fees flowing through from the website, itself.

Eek. Maybe it's time for the folk festivals to STOP using this service, hopefully out of respect for the performers. Why can't each festival just set up a space on their OWN websites where performers may apply?

Arggggh. (Just swallowed annual Humbug Pill, by the way!)

Cordially,
Deborah Robins
