How much would a teenage rock band get paid for a party/gig?

I have a band called 'Delirium' And were an English rock/punk/pop band. We are doing quite a few gigs but havn't charged yet (because its just a start) %26amp; i was wondering how much i would get paid?


We include:


Disco Lights


Ipod Setlist


Live music


%26amp; all the full works of a party





Any ideas?

it's difficult for me to say in terms of pounds, because i'm from the US... but, i'd say due to just starting out, and the fact that your target audience would be young, you'd probably be able to get around 1/2 of what a professional (adult) local club/party band would get....





in my case, our band gets a *minimum* of $600 per show....and there are five of us, and there are costs, of course, so we only get to keep $100 of it a piece (but it's ';tax-free';! ; )....that's for 4 hours with breaks, btw....





however, we often are able to charge more - about *twice* that during peak summer dates....





when you start getting asked to be booked somewhat regularly, then you know it's time to jack the prices!

Take your hint from the great American economists....





';Whatever the market will bear';.








Oooh, wait, maybe not such a great idea....





It's one thing to say you're a band playing a party, but it sounds like you do a bit more, so you're not really asking about being paid as a band, but being paid as entertainers. That's a little different.

Float the idea, see what people think. Start low, then grow as you become more in demand.
