Hi David
I took part in a book launch/poetry reading in Bristol recently and was paid
by the sponsers with a bar of organic chocolate, some creamed coconut, a
bottle of fish sauce and a small jar of chilli powder :-)
I don't mind a bit of bartering occassionally :-) at least it saves on
filling out those 20 page Arts Council grant application forms :-)
X Annie (good to see you in action the other day :-)
