Get a Day job, one where you don't have to work overtime or weekends. Do what everyone else has said, until your name is known as well as Martin Carthy's was about 30 years back. Then just keep doing it. Do it like Liz the Sqeak says, you could go a long way to meet a guy with Martins temperament and ability. The word I have heard twice this last weekend to describe the other sort is "High Maintainance" and neither of those acts will be booked again by the people who used the words. Oh Yes Good luck lad, I wish I had the talent and ability, the years would be OK too. JohnB
