Sounds as if you've got things fairly well sorted out, Mike. I'm a mere amateur, though when asked to perform by organisations which can afford it, I do ask for a modest fee to avoid undercutting the people for whom performing provides part of their income.

A few years ago, through a project in which I was involved at work, I came across a further education college in Dublin which takes a serious approach to the business of professional musicianship and which (unlike more prestigious academies) systematically includes a module on the business side of the music business in its courses. It's not starry-eyed banjo-and-bedroll folkie stuff, but I wonder if this commonsense approach to making a decent living out of music is widespread in places where they teach music?
