I don't know their rate.
But the producer could probably get away with slashing it, after all that band get to perform on a national show. Now that's mega publicity and it'll generate a lot of business for their other bookings.
A decent and up and coming band would do it for free if they knew it would launch them into hundreds of thousands of households. Sign them to a contract for one season,
Now you may reply you won't get anyone good to work for free or very little
I'm sure the producers could get someone just as good as the current band
Plus one ..
Im sure many bands would propably pay RTE to get a chance to such exposure!!
