Saw him only recently when he sat in with the house band at an Exeter pub.

Yes, Andy. He was always bemused by the Bob Holness gag.
I remember one time when a friend of mine was blowing away in a local pub. Raf went over to him with a request ............ Baker Street ;o)

Yes, a great career.
I don't know in this case, but it's common for session players to receive a one-off payment for a recording.......... no residuals. i.e. no matter how much the record sells, no more payment. They're rarely well-off.
A great friend, who's a Pro player, was possibly on more recordings in the 80s than anyone "famous". He makes a living, but no more than that, unless it's a tour.

The Builder - that is indeed usually the case.
Session singers are employed for a flat fee, and earn no residuals for the success of the music to which they contribute.
Rod Stewart famously received an agreed fee of a set of car mats for appearing on Python Lee Jackson's In A Broken Dream.
Similarly, Claire Torrey received a flat fee for her appearence on Dark Side Of The Moon, one of the biggest selling records ever made, but she was able to contract repeat fees when she re-recorded it for a commercial for asprins.
