whats the going rate for a roadie these days?

Perhaps it is fair to say that most of us never employ Roadies. Sometimes friends accompany us, and as a gesture of friendship, we buy their drinks. Some of the blighters can be very thirsty, and have expensive tastes in drink.

I sure that even buying them drinks will intrest the taxman. That's seen as reward for their services.
