[Mael-list] Sparks Sponsorship-ugh

[Will Vigar]

Have to say, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Thing is 21 entirely
different gigs is going to take much more in the way of rehearsal ad
therefore much more in the way of paying wages. This can't be a cheap
endeavour for the band and recouping the money spent on that and standard
gig costs is unlikely to happen merely by the takings on the door. PLus
here's the cost of accommodation for a month. When it boils down to it, they
ain't doing this for their health and they have every right to recoup costs
however they see fit. I'd love to say I'd been able to help them do their
thing. Sadly, I don't have any cash.... :-( Will "I only want to live in
