Performing act agent - NI Number

I have started picking up worl from ana gent who books acts (music)
I have to give him bank details for payment
He also wants my NI number
I invoice him, he pays my fee
Why would he want my NI number, and should I give it to him (he will then have a lot of my personal details) ?

    why not ask him?  he maybe asking for your NI as proof that you have the right to work in the UK, even on a self employed basis.

    Having an NI number doesn't prove entitlement to work - someone with an expired work visa would still have an NI number.
