Solias right!.!.!.!.

Most Booking Agents ( people who book bands) ususally take about a 10% percent cut from the Band as their fees!.
Band Managers can take about a 10 to 20% cut from the Band as fees too!. They have to get paid as a Band!.!.!.Most Club Owners want Bands in there because they bring in the business to them!.!.!.!.
the Club Owners make good money off the bands by having them be there!.!.!.so customers buy will drinks, food, Gig tix, Band Posters, Band CDS and etc!. Club Owners always need Bands!.!.!.!.

Either learn to be a one man band, or teach some animals how to play instruments!. Most likely even if the musicians are your friends, they'll want a cut of the money you make on THEIR talents!. Unless you can get the musicians a REALLY good gig, one that would help their career so much they won't care about getting paid for it, you're out of luck!.

I think its just common courtesy to pay the musicians something for their work!. Either give the band something in return for playing, or good luck trying to teach a cat how to play the piano!.

As for making money for booking bands, try asking some musicians if they need an agent and then ask around to get them gigs!. Either ask the band for a flat amount or a percentage as your pay for getting them their gigs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
