| From the Where2sing.com forum: i take it sydney live is some sort of booking agency....well agents do take some soft of hefty fee, most times..sometimes half..it makes it hard for a kj to keep up to date with songs and equipment when they are getting half of say 500 bucks and they are expected to put on a 500 dollar show, i find a lot of pubs around are controled by booking companies, and arnt always getting the best for thier money(although some have a squilion dollars)...it would be better to direct book a proffesional company that is doing it good(bringing in punters/increaseing turnover etc..). but maybe owners of pubs like the convenience of booking agents etcc... i find agents have the golden tongue, offer lots of promises, and have advertised and or linked up quite extensively....take into account advertising fees and administration costs, some agents are still making a few good dollars i think...tell this venue to bypass the agent and pass the booking fee onto a proffesional company that is packing venues and making pubs money etc...
