Having been all three , Club organiser , Semi Pro local singer AND Full Pro , let me say that this is one of the more interesting threads i have read for a while ! A lot of very good sense , and very little nastiness . Prsonally , these days , IF I think I am going to enjoy myself , I will work VERY Cheap - as long as I am NOT Subsidising an organisers lifestyle ! IF Its going to be hard Work , or a long distance drive , the fee goes UP ! And a lot of clubs run singers nights at a good profit so that they CAN book expensive acts
which the door take will not cover .
