i take in all the points here and yes your all right,tickets are too pricey i can only add into the equation the cost of touring versus album sales it just doesn't add up,i have ALWAYS paid my way to tour i have never had tour support(as a solo artist)but have only twive actually been paid for touring i always get nothing at the end of it and all the massive costs eat into any fees and t-shirt sales.Its the way it is i survive on song writing pretty much and have done for years now.
I am sorry if my rant came over wrong but it is very frustrating to make music and have some little bastard who is internet savvy nick it off you
I hope the ticket prices for my shows aren't too savage and also that your happy coming to see us live
I'm not one to over-analyse Mr H, but I reckon that, at approximately £0.19 per minute, your gigs are fantastic value for money!
