Glenn, My wife and I were entertainers for 17 years and we got out of it in 1980. At that time the agents fees were up to 15%. I can only imagine that it is very possible that agents may get 20% in concert situations and at least 15% in the nightclub and showband situations. Haven't been in it for 18 years and I haven't kept up on the latest either so admittedly I'm speaking from what I knew to be true 18 years ago along with what I know about agents and their desire to bet a larger commission. --Marvin McDonald
