How much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shadow Man]

I emailed The Beach Boys promotion company just enquiring how much it would be to hire The Beach Boys for an evening. I knew it would be expensive but I was bored.

With all flights (20 crew members), plus equipment for a two hour set, s noghts 5-star accomodation, hired coach and full refreshments, would anybody care to hazzard a guess at the quote?

Remember only Mike Love from the original line up is present and Bruce Johnston who joined much later on.

I'd say about $10,000,000

[Shadow Man]

That was meant to say 2 nights above.

50k, nowhere close.

[Shadow Man]

10 million dollars?????????????

Errrrrr, a trifle steep.

[Pirate1]

�250,000 at a guess.

[fine,thanks]

to play at the lodge, they can afford that ?

[Shadow Man]

Very close pirate.

So close in fact the game is over. $575,000

[Psychick]

�100,000

I would rather hire a tribute band, less entourage

[Pirate1]

Yaay, I knew................because I hired them last week.



OK, thats a lie...............lol

[Shadow Man]

The 20 are Mike and Bruce. 5 band members. 2 backing singers, 3 beauties who come on for the last few songs, 4 roadies, 2 soundmen, 1 lighting man and a handyman.

Hey, I'm bored now. Who else could we try and hire and where do you find out who their promotion company is???????

[whiffey]

That's a bit like trying to hire Mozart and getting sent Noel Gallagher

[Shadow Man]

Wll it got me thinking if two men approaching 70 years old are probably picking up about �35k each for ones days work what on Earth would somebody like Elton or Cliff charge in the corporate field??

Or Oasis (if they do the corporate thing)

[pussnboots]

No mistake just thought that it must be a ridiculous amount ie

1. 20 1st class return flights = �60,000
2. 10 double rooms in 5* hotel for 2 nights, +room service+mini bar +dinner etc. =�25,000
3. Hire of coach + refreshments �5,000
4. Wages for 20 = �40,000
OH ok then �175,000

[cazzz1975]

Im not sure oasis could spell corporate let alone do it

[pussnboots]

Damn Pirates already won.
