They do jam nights throughout the week. Musicians just play for the fun of it and free beer. It really brings in the crowds too. II think the do an Old Timey jam night, and a bluegrass jam night. Why not a Gaelic Music Jam Night? Hey Matt, Maybe emulating someone like Jack Of the Wood in Asheville would be a good idea. They do jam nights throughout the week.

I have no problem with them making money, what I don't like is losing money myself. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for entertainers to want a guarantee.

There's still entertainment value bringing people to your venue… but less out-of-pocket expense for you. And personally, I don't think it's unreasonable for musical performers to require some sort of guarantee. They are, after all, running a business… same as you.

Lets face it people love listening to live music. Most customers would prefer to spend a cover charge to their home bar then spend the money on gas and parking to drive to asheville.

They pack the crowds in. The bands play for tips and an opportunikty to sell their CD's. There is a plethora of talent in Western NC - and many would love to play for tips.

Having a brewer sponsor a band as a promotion for a beer would allow us to have a quality band without losing money. I am going to contact some of our suppliers and float the idea. His second point is the idea that bands have a marketing value beyond just the night of the show. This is true to an extent, since any promotion exposes new folks to Hannah's. But it doesn't change the fact that I have lost a boatload of money on that promotion, when there are other more effective ways of spending marketing funds. And viewing profit and loss by each promotion only makes sense. How else would you ever know if anything is a good idea or not? Robert offers an excellent suggestion.
