I think it comes down to what suited your lifestyle and committments.Certainly pro's and con's for both.Joint could offer more chance of t.v exposure.Also with established regular venue's there may have been a more regular wage.However,if there was a difference of opinion with a Promoter, being a cartel it could have affected your earning power. Independents could offer a variety of possibly newer venue's and many Promoters to work for. Although a lesser chance of t.v. exposure.

I have no idea whether or not Evan Treharne was generalising, when he said to me, quite heatedly, that appearing on t.v. would only put an extra five pounds in a workers pocket? Bill of course was very much on the side of the 'Independents'.
