Hello all
I find it interesting that a Band playing covers can get $500 or more a night, Taking breaks every half hour , While us Hosts work our butts off all night, dealing with inebriated people, constantly taking abuse and getting no breaks,only average $150 a night (for 4 hours). Personally I charge $300 a night for a 4 hour "show"
I find Karaoke to be much more entertaining than a live band, except if you are looking to dance ect.
However it really doesn't matter that much how many songs you have, it's really the host that makes or breaks a show, and the host should get paid accordingly. I love to have fun and bring Karaoke guitars (no strings), hats wigs ect to make it more fun for the audience
I no longer work the bars and find private parties to be more fun and profitable.
There is a lot of competition in this area also, and there is a lot of backstabbing and undercutting going on,,, too bad they could all be making a better living if they would stick together, but such is the way of the world,,,,,,
I got into this forum because I'm building a new computer to utilise MTU's software. Can anyone give me any pointers on what parts might be most beneficial??
I would appreciate any information you can give.
Thanks
