Bachus.....why is that? 200-500 Euros a night for a good OMB. What does a good OMB do, the type of music, etc to make that kind of money? Is there a lot of work there for OMB's and other live musicians?

There is a lot of OMB's and duo's (keys/drums) in the area i was born. In general they play in Bars, at weddings and parties. There used to be a lot more work for them, but as everywhere alse, there are more and more Deejays taking over gigs.

Most of these OMB's are not full time musicians, they have a job on weekdays and play in the weekends.

An Uncle of me, had a contract last summer at a local hotel during the season for 4 evenings a week and he made 950 euros a week.(and free drinks) Which is quite well payd for an OMB overhere in Holland.

Bands with more members are a lot more expensive tough, there are to many OMB's and Deejays tough and they somewhat ruin their own market.


a "Good" OMB plays and sings every type of music in demeand from contemperary to top 40 and rock and even some dance music.
