I don't know the present position regarding the minimums to be charged at Vin's gigs.

I DO KNOW that there was a period when this was insisted upon (and ignored) by his then agent Jim Mac(mega)Fee. The Folk Union One was never answerable to agents and Vin always got his full fee.

We saw Vin in the summer but I seem to think the entry cost was below the figure quoted.

I also don't see what relevance his folk club gigs have to the event mentioned.

Woodsie ,I deplore the simplistic statement you have made regarding this man's gigs.
If you have knowledge of many of his Contracts including un-paid ones , that would be a different matter - you simply don't.
It is exactly the same as claiming Rooney gets £ 250,000 pounds per week - we simply don't know , and , whilst we're at "IT" at least you can depend on VG to produce the goods for which he is quite rightly paid, whereas the Rooney article is severely flawed in this respect ..
A Folk club / theatre etc., reaches an agreement with a performer / group regarding financial matters and then you choose whether you would like to pay for that experience.
Goodness me ,have you seen what Chavs pay to watch glorified Karaoke singers , and you have the cheek to knock a guy who has stood the test of time and survive (and be a jewel) in the Folk scene for 40 years .
Try travelling and performing one night in Plymouth,next night in Hull ,next night in Bristol, next night in Carlisle - giving magnificent performances to sellout audiences and see if you could do it Year in ,Year out .
Jeez I couldn't do it for a Month.
How small minded of you.

This is the bloke who insists that tickets for his gigs at folk clubs must not be sold for less than £10! Even when the club guarantees his fee!
