What moves the price
- Duo's experience — an established duo with a long repertoire and strong reviews usually charges more per booking.
- Duration of the performance — longer sets mean more time playing and on site, so the fee rises with each extra set.
- Line-up — adding extra musicians beyond the duo, or a full band option, raises the booking fee.
- Complexity of the setup — a duo bringing a full sound system needs more time to set up.
- Travel distance to the venue — a duo travelling a long way may add travel costs to the fee.
