what would you pay?: Value of REAL musicians (bands)

orgasmcontrolcom · 04-13-2005, 05:08 PM

to hire two musicians to play for an hour at a cafe, at a restaurant that holds 50 people
for a wedding
at a bar 3 sets x 45 mins each
for a retirement home

would you expect them to bring friends ?
would you expect them to bring a pa asystem?
would you expect them to play for free?

just curious what the real world thinks about the value of live music(not dj)

would you expect them to bring friends ? - yes

would you expect them to bring a pa asystem? - no

would you expect them to play for free? - no, i wouldnt expect them, many bands will play for free just to get the chance to play, but to not offer anything and expect them to play for free will just make you seem like an asshole.
