"CD's can be sold at Faldingworth Live by the the main guests, without a fee from the organiser. Support acts need to get agreement from the main guest before being allowed to sell their own CD's. In return we expect that the CD's are produced professionally and are sold at a realistic price such as £10 per CD. At the same time we do not expect the main guest to put undue pressure on the audience to buy such CD's"

I honestly think that the organiser can help considerably by setting out the policies that apply to the venue. It saves a performer getting in touch with an organiser, when it is clear that the policies are not in synch, with their requirements.

I do wish acts would just mention at the end of their first set and before the interval, that "CD's are available to purchase at £xx , if you so wish"
Then leave it at that. If people like your music and they can afford to buy a CD, they will. Don't try making them feel guilty. I don't like to lose my audience becuase they feel pressurised to buy CD's

Sometimes it is very cringing to have a performer going on all the time about the CD's.
