    around 100 per hour.
    for weddings (as special prep is needed) at least 1000 for the gig.

    (yes this is the min I consider, not what I am asking)

    Agree with Terry on the prices.

    But as I read recently on this site, it all depends what’s in for you.

    If it’s a new bar in town and you know it’s gonna bring you a lot of followers but they don’t have a big budget for the moment, you may want to collaborate anyway and consider it as “marketing costs”. Of course rediscuss the price once you’re named resident 🙂

    A friend of mine in the know phoned me up at half 9 in the evening offering me an emergency gig at a local club coz their resident had gone off sick. I needed to get my skates on and be there for 10pm, finish at 3am. Bearing in mind *they* needed me and I was also cosy on the sofa with the missus at that precise moment, I asked how much they were paying.

    £10 an hour came the reply.

    I lol’d and turned the tv volume back up. Gentlemen, the moral of this story is that your good lady is always worth more than £10 an hour 😉

    It all depends on what the job is, and how much of your investments they expect you to bring there, music & equipment. But i think if your aren’t greeted with a hundred dollar bill, then you will probably be wasting your time.
