Nice!

Tough, I'm going to tell you anyway!

I charge £376.48 everytime..... and then there's the money from gigging on top!

:-)

# Posted by ST Photography - VIVA LA COMMU... - 05/08/2011, 11:43 (GMT)

Is that all? Whatever! command at least £500 for every gig. I'm amazed that venues can pay that much. I just assumed they make savings by cutting everyone elses fees? Ho hum, as long as my pockets are lined ;oD

Of course, I have to top that up by charging fortunes for photos. Obviously.

(All of the above is complete and utter bollocks. A massive exaggeration of true events written to make light of the current dominant discussions on NWB. Please don't kill me, or be put from hiring either Whatever! or ST Photography. Thank you)

We have to charge £1499.99 - otherwise there's no way to cover petrol, the cost of learning to play our instruments, all the broken relationships and the calories we burn when loading in.

i'll tell you a story... a man walks into an opticians and says 'i've come for my glasses, how much are they ?' the optician says £60... the man never flinches, so, pushing his luck, the optician says, 'thats for the frames only'... again the man doesnt flinch, so the optician says 'the lens are another £30... again the man says nothing, so the optican says 'each' !!... in other words, you charge what you can get away with and are happy with... and yes..why why why!!

We charge £10,000 per gig, but this can be heavily discounted with the use of readily available voucher codes.

# Posted by The Cottonhouse Shakers - 05/08/2011, 16:16 (GMT)

Better than being paid with rotten fruit!

# Posted by ST Photography - VIVA LA COMMU... - 07/08/2011, 19:44 (GMT)

I don't mind rotten fruit.....it's the fresh stuff that hurts lol
