Even Morris sides have their price. A long time ago I quoted our normal garden party price, for a publicity gig with a motor car, and when the man said "Is that all?" quick-thinking yours truly said "Each". The booker never batted an eyelid. We thus got ten times our usual fee.

There are some bookers (the BBC used to be guilty of this) who do not book artists who are not expensive, reckoning that if they are not expensive they can't be any good.
