Why is this topic being beaten to death? Agree some performers will not do any of these type shows for free, got it. Still seems to be off the orignal topic.

Looks to me like the Queen may have paid a few too many performers.
Parliament told the Royal Family to tighten its belt on spending. Buckingham Palace is almost broke. No more paid shows of any kind. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/roya......22266021 Tom

Thankfully here in the UK performers have not yet got to the stage of offering services for free simply to get what they consider prestige work.
Though I can see it happening one day desperate performers will start offering to do these jobs with an excuse that its great publicity . Then the organisors will start thinking " oh they will work for free why pay " then magicians will be further lowered in the level of entertainment ... Very sad Phil |

Whenever a person spells so many words wrong on an application, he/she will not be accepted to do any type of entertainment for the government. The best advice I can give them is to slow down and think twice. It worked for me.

She milked it for great publicity and got work from it. I was politically opposed to our last president, so I didn't use it for publicity. I would not be associated with her. Just a personal thing. While the USA is certainly in the top ten wealthiest nations - thanks to the loans China is giving you - many of us are happier to live in countries with a more liberal outlook. It is worth more to us than financial clout. I don't know why you brought it up. It had nothing to do with the discussion.

It all depends on what the event is for. If the queen had an event for there granddaughter she's getting charged, but if the event is a charity event for all of England, then I wouldn't charge because that's the event. I do lots of charity events through the course of the year, because I have too, nope, because when they ask me, I help, if I'm available. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Madonna, you do know they do charity events and don't get paid right.
When Katrina hit New Orleans, Brad Pitt went to help build homes. You do know he wasn't getting paid for his carpentry services, right? Some people really do take this free-makes entertainers look inferior concept way too seriously. When you get to a certain point in your career fellas, you become heroic for doing it, and 'wow, that's so cool.'. Strive for that level, first, then decide what to do for free, and what you won't. I for instance would never, ever, ever, do any kind of fair for free, they are paying, and paying a lot. If the word cancer is involved, I"m not charging. If they are raising money, If I can get them in, I do it. The White House is put on for the people, the public.. I don't believe that anyone there gets paid for anything that day. It's not different for international stars, they don't get paid either. Wow, they could probably make tons somewhere else, Fergie didn't get paid. Why? They understand the event. |

We are BELIEVERS when charity events are involved. The good thing is we have a heart.

Smart business people give away free samples all the time and nobody tries to take advantage of it. And those who give to charity events are respected for it and rewarded more than they ever know.

I should have asked that question directly to James Munton, Jolly Roger or Keith Fields.
