Subject: RE: Performers fees (% or flat fee?)
Oh, you mean like not telling anyone to go and fuck themselves, as you did to me?

By 'outdated corner' I mean that it is no longer the early revival when anyone (including me) who thought they could perform went out and did it for fun, very little money and no business sense. Today, music IS a business, artists' careers and livelihoods are at stake and it is wholly anachronistic and misguided to muddle on in an amateurish way in unsuitable venues, insufficiently thought out means of funding and unprofessional or non-existent promotion. 'F*lk clubs' as we knew them are finished.

For anyone who takes this critical analysis as a 'personal insult', it may be that 'cap' and fit' may apply. As for your venue, Les Worrall, I haven't a clue whether it may or not because I haven't seen it. Now go and fuck yourself. It will do less damage than screwing artists.
