That could be a cool gig. Why not better pay? And how did they figure that your band will be together that long? (You do have enough time to recreate a band if they did break up.)

 

 

If I had to guess I'd say they booked each player separately to make their own house band.

Considering how much the Olympics has cost Canada so far, he's lucky he's getting anything at all!

:eek:

In a 'house' band in front of 25,000 people and possibly TV. Will be representing the NWT. Not much pay (daily honorariums and expenses paid).

 

 

Do you get to open for these guys?
