The cost above assumes in Edinburgh, not beyond midnight, not beyond 4 hours.
The bands are willing to play beyond midnight and beyond 4 hours, but charge £50 per half-hour extra.
Outside Edinburgh (i.e. the bypass) they charge £50 per half-hour travel up to 2 hours.
More than 2 hours, they expect dinner, bed and breakfast in addition.

The bands are willing to travel ABROAD on condition that ALL expenses are paid i.e. travel, accommodation and food.
They won't ask to be paid in addition.
i.e. if you don't work us too hard, we'll regard it as a free holiday!

If you REALLY can't afford a band, I'll come with a small PA (Public Address system) and an iPod. It's not as good as a live band obviously, but it IS better than a disco.
