It's for Cherry Dee, mate

Got caught with one of these a few years ago.

'It's a charity gig' was all I was told.

We did the gig, everyone walking around eating smoked salmon and availing themselves of the free bar in a rather posh venue.

Turned out that the only 'charity' part was actually us playing for nothing for a tight fisted, but extremely wealthy, git.

Way I see it, I travel -say- 50 miles round trip, spend half a the day at the weekend hanging round watching bands I wouldnt usually go to see, play free for - again, say - 45 minutes. Hump my gear around, and usually get asked to let someone I dont know use it, cos 'He has to rush off/couldnt bring his own etc' (Usuallymeans what he's got is not as good as the rubbish Stag back line thats usually supplied) Pay for my own beer and a burger. Lets call that £40 out of my pocket in expenses.

Now is it a charity I would donate £40 to... ?
