Dear all-- In re periodicity, I have performed at the Louisiana Renfest since 2000, and about 6-7 years ago, a madrigal group appeared. They were gorgeously, historically garbed, and sang beautifully. In short, they raised the tone of the whole festival. Three weeks later, they were gone, and never were invited back. I asked the entertainment coordinator why. He said he could not justify paying them, since they did not promote themselves aggressively, and did not attract large crowds. Many Renfest entertainers must accept that they will be grossly underpaid, and will expand their income with tips and CD sales. The Renfest management must often rob Peter to pay the jousting team, which is their biggest draw. Cheers, Alice
