I have learned a set of flamenco, spanish & latin style music and am looking to get a gig playing at either a restaurant or cafe.
What hourly rate should I ask (or expect to be offered) to play for?

I am in Australia so please indicate what currency you are referring to in your answer.

I was thinking about just getting a little trace elliot acoustic 35 watter and plugging the mic right into that….but I have little experience in gigging and amplification….thing is i don’t wanna be hauling around pounds and pounds of power I will never use.

Hi I am trying to get a gig at a restaurant/cafe playing spanish/latin instrumental music on guitar. No vocals, more background type music.

I want to make backing tracks so I can play guitar along with them. I already have some Santana songs so could someone please give me suggestions to any latin style music that would be good for restaurants/cafes?
