Deni-C	UK How much should bands charge? (57* d)	UK How much should bands charge?	12 Mar 03
As a spin off to the thread, 'Booking sucks!' I'd like to know how other bands get around the thorny problem of knowing how much to charge for gigs. They vary so much. Now I don't want to put people off by asking too much, nor do I want them to see us as cheap. At the moment I say negotiable. (We also do charity gigs for free, like most bands....) I've got the Musicians Union advice on rates for musicians, but I've got no way of knowing about the finances of particular festivals etc... and we're certainly not a 'name', although we still have to pay band members etc.... What do y'all do? . D
