That's interesting. In 1967, I was one of the residents at the Surbiton club, and Derek Sarjeant started taking me round on some of his gigs. I would get up and do a couple of songs as part of Derek's set. I did this at the Hole in the Wall in Chichester, and in the interval they asked if they could book me in my own right. "How much do you charge?" they said. "How much do I charge?" I asked Derek. "How much do you earn a week in your job?" he replied. "Eight quid", says I. "Well, that's what you charge for a gig then" he retorted.
So first ever paid gig, and I got a week's wage. That was the formula back then. Translate that to today's values, and you'll see that artists' fees have not really kept pace.
