It's solicitation, like prostitution isn't it?
What do you want. I'm selling, what do you want to pay and where are we going to do it.

I feel the fee is always negotiable and in proportion to the venue.

I have a minimum rule of thumb guide line. It's £10 a song (minimum 5 songs), plus travel expenses and if required somewhere to stay over.
10 songs and talk can take up 30 mins.
2 sets of 10 songs with a break. You do the maths.
PA is also negotiable too. Need it? Or Not?
I don't do pubs any more. Too noisy for what I can do.

Any offers? Negotiable of course.
Ask nicely and I might do it for free.
Better catch me soon. I'm not getting any younger.
