How much money can you make as a musician or band by playing in pubs and stuff?

Question

if you can play some decent music?

cover songs and/or originals?

Answer 1

It depends completely on how good you are, what covers you play ans where you play them.  If you are starting out, i'd look to get about 50 quid for a nights work and move up from there

Answer 2

i dont know search it on google

Answer 3

In America, $200.00 to $500.00 for a four hour night depending on how well you are known. If you are a top draw that everyone comes out to see (a large fan base), you can expect $800.00 to $2000.00 four a four hour show or tipically half of what is taken at the door. So, if the bar, pub, ect. is large, say it can hold 300 people, and you are a well known act that is taking 1/2 the door at $10.00 each and you pack the place, you are looking at $1,500.00 for the night.

Answer 4

well in the uk if you play at a wedding for example its ranges from £200-£700 per 4 hours..good business to get into if your good, not sure how it would work in america though

Answer 5

That all depends upon how good you are, how many bookings you can get, whether you actually get asked for return visits to the venue, if you have to pay agency fees, any promotional fees, management fees etc.

The better you are and more recognised you become, the more you can charge.

Its all a case of supply and demand like anything else. If you are in demand and can get the bookings you make more , if not, you dont.

Good luck   Mike t
