Minimum rates for musicians performing on shows produced by NODA

The minimum rate of pay for musicians engaged to perform on shows produced by NODA members is based on the MU/UK Theatre Subsidised rates.

The MU / UK Theatre weekly rate of £607.64 is based on a minimum of 8 calls, but for the purposes of NODA shows, this can be pro-rated to a minimum of 5 calls (per week).

The weekly fee for up to 5 calls is therefore £379.77, with additional calls payable at a rate of £75.95.
