Out of curiosity,how much would a band expect to get paid for playing one of these gigs?

It's something stupid like a bit of beer. I don't think anyone's offered actual cash.

 

[Serpico]

Oh I know that and I completely agree. The Belltable Arts Centre in Limerick get several hundred thousand euros in funding each year and complain about not having enough.. That's just depressing like.

Jesus Christ don't start me on theatre funding.

Really? What's the average door price?

 

[cpr]

Days passes for all venues €21, €40 for the full weekend.

[GO]

I get paid in beer vouchers in work

Thought as much. I got the info from a local band who were supposed to play but fobbed it off when they found that out.

 

[Space]

10 beer vouchers each or for the band?

 

[Gambra]

For the entire band.

 

[east hastings]

it was for the entire band, although maybe they give each 2 vouchers for the amount of people in the band

Do you have to pay a registration fee or anything like that?

 

[Unicron]

Do you have to pay a registration fee or anything like that?

Not for a few years I don't think.

 

[ernesto]

thought it was something like €25 to have your demo even listened to?

my mate said it cost him to play the gig

Nope. You just register your band on breakingtunes and then judges pick out 100 bands. You get beer tokens. Backline is provided if you want to use it. If you are from outside Dublin it will cost you petrol money etc.

We played at Andrews Lane last night and it was very well organised with decent crew, sound/light people etc.

Seemingly you get a fair bit of money from IMRO for it and that's the only payment. They supply backline & prefer that you don't bring gear, no room, not enough change over time. So it shouldn't really cost you anything to play. All the engineers were cool in Twisted Pepper, played through a nice Marshall JCM 800 100w but couldn't get my sound, oh well, was prepared for that.

We brought our own cab and guitar heads. They didn't mind at all. Robotniks who played before us brought this monstrocity of a welded thingymejiggy with them. Took a good while to set up.

 

[ronan]

Yeah, much smaller stage in Twisted Pepper though.
So stricter, understandably.
Darren sounded like he was playing surf guitar. I had to borrow his tubescreamer for my bass.

Not ideal, but there you have it.

Well run festival, lovely accomodating people.
There you have it.

seemingly? you played, did you get paid or not? and do you have to register with IMRO to play at all?
