All profit should really go to charity, or else you're misleading the punters.

Okay, maybe paying a band some sort of fee is understandable if it's a big time band that's going to haul in the crowds (breaking a few eggs to make an omlet), but for a nobody band - with an apparent short temper - the chance to do something nice and get a little exposure should be plenty.
