Long story short - Got asked to play a wedding - the groom is mates with the singer and bass player and they want to do the gig for free as a kind of wedding present. Thing is - I don't really know the guy and I HATE playing weddings ( we are not a wedding band ) so I want to get paid. I've suggested charging a quarter of what we normally ask so I get my usual share. It's fine that they want to contribute their time for free for their mate but should I have to? (The guitarist has agreed after they pressured him into it so I'm the odd one out.)
Am I being an arse? I get it's nice to be nice, but it's time away from the family for zero reward, no money and no enjoyment. I really hate weddings....
