I don't think he was signing on, though - Kenneth Pitt was effectively his patron, as I think was Lindsay Kemp for a while. But there was much less of a star system in music at the time (and no corporate involvement to speak of), which meant there was a lot more money around at lower levels.

Yeah, but Kemp was mostly getting money from government arts subsidies, and it was government funding that allowed the Arts Labs to flourish and so on.
