We have cover bands, imitation bands, original bands, high profiled bands, low profiled bands, bands who sing in norwegian, bands who sing in english, solo artists of every listed variation, we have DJ's, rappers, big shows, small shows, and just about every other thing you have over there.
Norway is a country with a lot of distances, we all have cars, most of use have two or more cars.
And gas prices have reached a record high of 2$ a litre...(about 7.50$ a gallon) so you are right, gas is expensive, I use about 500$ a month just for gas.

I also stated that " rest of the world"-(including asia and south america,etc).
Norway( 4.5 million population with 40,000$ GDP) (and other rich but small EU countries)may be a different story.Think about east EU countries like Romania etc(ratio wise ,arranger usage is still higher than US).I've been told several times by US resident and/or touring EU musicians that ALL EU countries (exception of UK,yeah not even Germany)LIVE band/arranger ratio is still large if compared to US.
