'£16000 x 20 / 11 is barely breakeven, after costs' Accommodation paid for by the festival, food probably part of the rider, not to many costs then! £1,000 each, £5,000 for expenses. I've played some of the same festivals as Bellowhead, and I'd love to have £1000 + per gig! That gives them all a 'basic' of £20,000 (more than the average wage round here!) from those 20 gigs, there there are CD sales, all the other gigs they do with other lineups, I suspect they make a reasonable living.
