As amateurs we only accepted travelling expenses and any hospitality
that was on offer, but we politely declined any fee. I am of the
opinion that for an amateur musician accept a fee is to take what is
due to those who depend on performing fees to make a living.
I'm not sure I follow. If you took a fee, then the choice of
booking you or a professional would be on more even ground. By
providing your services for free, you look much more attractive
then the professional, and in that way more surely cost them the job.
