Okay, I am trying to get a consensus on this.
More than once, my band has turned up to play a gig at a pub or a club only to discover that there's also a party booked.
My feeling is that my band would generally charge more for a party/event than for a standard pub gig, but my bandmates also feel like it makes no difference what's going on at the venue; we're paid to play the gig.
So what's the general feeling on this? I feel like the venue is taking advantage and getting a band on the cheap.
