I wonder how many of you are responsible for "holding down" or hosting song circles, Irish sessions, open mikes or jam sessions. I'm about to negotiate and was curious to know what other folks are making doing this sort of thing. You can't really look up the numbers as with other professions.

Currently I'm making $30 to host a three-hour session, drinks included in one venue and at a discount at another. In this town, bar gigs for local groups are generally in the $50+ range depending on venue and number of band members.
