Yes, good point. When you see how much money people make out of films, in some cases for just submitting recordings they have already published, why would a poorly paid live fiddler miss the opportunity for a slice by sticking strictly to a traditional tune? My only experiences of film and television, has been hanging around for hours and hours for about fifteen seconds in the final cut, and about as much pay to cover the trip home. And you don’t get paid until you’ve signed the disclaimer waiving your rights to any further recompense.
