Acquaintances that want your work for free
#10
RE: Acquaintances that want your work for free
When I was performing, requests for freebies were rampant. I never minded playing charity dos and so on for free, but I'd get asked to perform at weddings, parties, etc, 'as a favour'. One incident ended a friendship - a former friend who was a solicitor helped me out with a minor legal problem and was pretty damned insistent about getting paid (nothing wrong with that). A year or so later, she approached me about playing her sister's wedding reception, and was shocked at the price I quoted her (half my base fee at the time). Her response was something like, 'But we've known each other for years!', as if that was relevant.
