I’m looking forward to performing as part of The Harris Flights.
However the £500 payment suggests a compromise – doing half the proposal.
My initial proposal included funding for 100 hours at £10 per hour, a total of £1000.
I am aware that the Harris pays artists approx. £175 per day (for 6 hours) meaning my initial proposal should have been priced at £3,500 – a difference/saving of £2,500.
Every email I receive from Preston City Council states “Preston City Council is a Living Wage Employer”, which I think is currently £7.45 per hour.
I would be willing to stick with the original, ambitious proposal of performing for 100 hours at the Living Wage of £7.45 meaning the total cost would be £745.
Or, as you like, £500 worth of performance at the Living Wage.
I look forward to hearing from you.
