Not an easy subject to reconcile. We can rail against it and lament a dim and distant past when most of us went out for nothing, but the fact is all of us on this forum live in a capitalist society and folk music is not necessarily just a hobby/obsession for all of us. It's easy for us long-retired people to offer to do things for nothing/love but surely we aren't saying that no-one should be allowed to make a living out of it. Brian would soon come back on that one.
