Just thinking out loud here following a conversation with a bandmate..... I love gigging, and I never expect to get paid for a gig. When I do get paid it's a bonus, and I've always seen it this way. I've taken no fee for a gig and allowed the rest of the band to split the remainder. It's just the way I've always done things. OK, gigging costs me money, but I do it because I choose to. If the music venue make money out of our performance, all the better. Alongside music
