Terry McDonald:
Will - you play in a ceilidh band and they don't feed you during the interval? I was in a folk dance band for 18 years and we tended to judge gigs on the quality of the (always provided)supper.

Oh yes - we invariably get fed. We just take it in turns to eat and play! We also tend to judge gigs on the quality of the turnout and the fee! What we often forget to do is go to the Offie (Off-license shop for beer, for US friends) beforehand to get the beer in! So many of our gigs are often in village halls with no alcohol license - it's a case of BYO.
