That's just greed, managers? I used to find that one charity gig led to several paid gigs not that that was why I did them!

Cheers guys . I always try to do a few charity shows each year . I remember about 14 yrs ago one of the big greek bands who will remain nameless asked 11000 euros to play a charity event on Crete . The money from ticket sales would have hardley covered that and the venue rental . Same act tried to take over our merchendise stall that we were running for our Bands Against Poverty charity at another festival . Dispicable .

nicely done Graham. I used to love charity shows, for some reason the organizers would want to pay me which I'd turn down unless I had to travel a long way then I'd say OK give me a tenner for petrol. I'd often get the reply that everyone else wanted full payment, you cant do that for a good cause. So well done you.

Yesterday I took part in a fantastic event in York .The relay for life 2026 .
The event is for people and familys who have survived or lost freinds or loved ones to cancer .The event has teams of people walking round playing field for 24 hrs. Sevral performers had been asked to proved entertainment for the day
My friend Kev Jones had aranged for me to play .
Over the past few yrs the charity has raised money for Cancer research ,
I'm always happy to take part in these sort of events if I am available .
Here's a vid of me playing Bullfrog blues for my old mates Brian and Chris who both were taken by cancer some years ago .
