NEW YEAR CHALLENGE
We’d like you to tell us what 5 acts you would hire to play at a daytime family-friendly festival for 25,000  people. You need to think about how much a performer is likely to get paid, and what price you would have to charge in order to recover your costs. We are not expecting you to i) know how much each performer gets paid, or ii) what percentage of a ticket price would be allocated to a performer, but common sense would say that if you book U2, Eric Clapton or Madonna you would probably have to charge £500 a ticket! Email us your entries by the end of January and we will put the best 3 up on the site. The top three entrants will get some personal careers advice and we will do our best to find them some work experience with some of our friends.
OUR WINNER LADY CLAIRE'S ANSWER;
So, in order:
CERYS MATTHEWS
PROCLAIMERS
DODGY
NOISETTES
MARINA & THE DIAMONDS
I would charge £30 a ticket.
Reasons: Cerys Matthews is a household name from Catatonia days, yet does solo stuff now, but would possibly be a crowd puller, or merely interested enough to watch!
Proclaimers do small festivals and have well known songs.
Dodgy have reformed recently and would appeal to a younger age group, those that remember the 90s!
Noisettes have music on adverts and are very good live pop band, people would know one or two songs.
Marina & the Diamonds, newcomer, cheap and catchy songs!
Ta-DA!
Claire
