Since I started my desk job (that'd be the desk with sliders and control knobs) earlier this year, there have been:

5 pub gigs
3 church halls
2 university halls
1 community centre
1 hotel function

All either paid or for charities, although the pay doesn't even approach minimum-wage when you consider the time spent - I'm averaging somewhere between £3 and £5 an hour. Still, it lets me legitimately claim acquisition of PA gear and guitars as a business expense, which is very useful tax-wise. :-)
