I am comfortable with who I am and what I am. The things I don't like and can't change about me I have learned to live with.

I have just written and deleted a thread entry that had the word "I" in it 30 times or more. What "I" wanted to say (or ask) is does anyone else have a problem with getting bookings that pay really really well but only require minimal skill?

Where the crowd is large and disinterested and all you have to do are popular folk songs purely for the money. Arguably a form of prostitution.

I only work a four or five times a month but I am increasingly cherry picking the high interest (but low pay) bookings and wondered if anyone else does the same.

Is it woth singing Wild Rover to a pissed up crowd for £75 or Callum Moore to a small folk club for what amounts to travel expenses?

I am not rich but don't need the money so I suppose I can afford to take the high moral ground and this is obviously allowing me to "cherry pick".

I promise not to post another serious thread again.

Spot.

Hope you don't mind, Spot. I changed the prefix of the thread title, since this is definitely a music discussion.
