Fund-raising and money making have not been areas where I have excelled in the past, but I did have this thought, for what it's worth. Maybe with ideas like this one, it is just as well I didn't do it in the past, I might have spent a long time in jail?

I can understand the legal problems that would ensure from trying to implement this idea on any where near a formal level, but if we could do it very quietely, and leave it voluntarily, it up to peoples conscience, it should not present too many problems............. Or would it?

What I propose is that if anyone earns any money, regularly or as a once off. in other words, gets paid for a gig in which they perform any material, that they think is obtained from or inspired by The Mudcat, that they donate a percentage of that. to help towards running costs etc.

It would enable those of us who do perform to give back something to The Mudcat, directly in proportion to what we receive from it and by doing so we might realise just how much in debt to The Mudcat we are and contribute anyway?

See the Help Support The Mudcat banner at the top for details of how to actually pass any money over.
