The Budget is determined by the council that are in control in the previous year, I also think its just a standard set rate as well, It was a shock to the system when they told me the budget as the budget has to cover everything, In previous years there has been tribute bands on, and they have been on a tiny stage that you cant even see, However Kerry who run the entertainment prior to this had her hands tied on fees, Its a thankless job because the event is a free event with a poor budget, Just to answer the X Factor question why dont we book an act from their, anyone from this years show command between 5k and 8k, its hard to book a champagne act on lemonade wages
