$10k is only about £5000 a good months wage. You cannot exist on £5000 a year wow that is even less than minimum wage.


Howdy Jim!

Nope. I'll bet he meant $10K. And that's a pretty darn good total for coffee houses! I can only think of about 4 or 5 of the hundreds of singer-songwriters I know that actually make a living as such.

The greater L.A. area is particularly cruel in the musicians-don't-get-paid category. In fact, many of the larger Hollywood clubs demand that the bands buy 50 or 100 tickets at $5-10 per show in advance and sell them themselves in order to play the venue.

Supply and demand... the American way...
