Hi Beau, heres a contribution. A few years ago
I organised a number of days on sundays and bank holidays at the "Shipwrights
Arms" at Hollow Shore Faversham. These events were organised between myself and
the Landlord on the basis that I was paid 20% of the takings. On that basis some
of the responsibility fell on me to get people to the event. The harder I worked
the more people turned up and the more I received. On the other hand if I
had not put any effort into the events I am sure I would have received little or
nothing. As it was I did ok. So try and get bands to work for partnership
percentages. That way the pub will not risk a great deal in fees and you might
see a bit more of what we all like.
