Aye... It's rare we get absolutely nowt, but what we do get tends to be at the lower end of 2/10 of nowt! I remember being second top bill at a venue in Birmingham for a 9 band all-dayer... We'd gone in 3 cars due to all coming from who-knows where, parking had cost us £20 each, plus the fuel and the 2+ hours drive each way. At the end of the gig, there was maybe 75 people there, the promoter came up to me and said "I've got your money, it's £19" which he handed to me. And I said "each?" and he said "no, that's it!". We once got £13 in the Welsh Valleys, and more than once we've come away with nothing at all!

Recently at the Herdsman in Hereford... Just mobile phone footage and sound but you can actually hear me (for a change, though some might prefer not to) with headphones or decent speakers... I'm not Mr Clanky, that's Raph! ChokedBlindHerdsman 23-11-24.mp4

Up For the BackStroke -Parliament

I've never bothered because my singing voice is up with the very best of 'em! I could easily win XFactor or Cardiff Singer of the World but want to let everyone else have a chance. Last time I sang in front of an audience they were all so impressed they ran out of the room to tell all their friends and to announce my talent to the whole world!
