Off Topic I'm Done With Wumming

It depends.

A lot of the gigs in Pixie’ Gig Guide pay sub £300, which we will not entertain. £300 is the lowest we’ll play for, but only if we like the venue. The clubs pay around £600.

 

And it utterly destroyed you.

 

With some of my axe work I do like to reinterpret the Greats.

 

I'm a bit surprised you don't charge more tbh given that you are Dorset's most prestigious rock band and have all of the major venues falling over themselves to book you. Our approach has always been to tell the venue what we charge, rather than the other way around. Although there's always room for a bit of negotiation. Don't mean to sound funny, but there is no way we would play for £300 unless it was for a mate's birthday party or something.

 

What gigs you doing in Bournemouth this then @Hoddle Is A God ?

I didnt make it down there on the 22nd but we are meant to be coming down at some point in the next month or two.

 

Seems quite low that mate. Can’t leave much after your overheads etc that Piskie mentioned. But like I said, if you enjoy doin it, fair play

 

Not being funny, but we’d blow the socks off your little outfit. I don’t think it’s fair to you to compare.

We charge above the going rate for this area.

 

You need to check our gig calendar.

I don’t remember them. There’s too many.

 

That’s like saying a fat bloke is going on a diet, But he goes back to eating crisps, You’ll be going back to wumming soon.

 

You don’t play semi pro for the money. None of us do.

We get paid above the going rate for our patch.

If Pix is giving it large trying to make out that his band earns more I can absolutely promise you that he’s talking bollocks.

 

We probably wouldn't do it for £300, unless as I mentioned it was for a mate's birthday party or something. But for a club or venue, no way. They are going to be pulling in £1-2k on the door and probably another £2k in bar sales. I know they have their overheads and profit margins, but £800-£1k for the main entertainment is reasonable enough. Especially given our own overheads.

As I say though, I don't earn a penny of that money. It's purely a hobby for me, playing music with my mates and earning enough to keep it all going.

 

I blame @brb for letting the tedious **** back

 

That doesn’t make any sense, pigeon brain!

 

Wtf is this mess

 

Oh ffs, it's gone full retarded now.

 

Almost Cantona-esque
Beautiful

 

Pigeons

 

Pm it me if you want. The mrs and I enjoy going to pubs with live music. She is a singer so don’t be surprised if she demands to get up and sing with you all.

 

Stop it attention seeker, You’re the one who made a thread about you being done with wumming.

 

Well seeing as you haven't got a clue what sort of music we play, I'm gonna let that one slide.

I'm genuinely surprised to hear you charge so little. For a 5 piece band you're earning £60 each for a 2-3 hour gig ?
