We also played Blue Rodeo at the same period, 1983-1989, also at $500.00 a nite, keep in mind these Bands were just starting up and we were on a "BAR" circuit playing up and coming bands & as a "University " type bar we were their perfect venue
I should also say that as well as University of Western Ontario students we catered to Fanshawe college students as well
The $500.00 fee also included free beer for the Band members for the nite, We had live music 6 nites a week, that's' were l got my gray hair from LOL

A real Canadian treasure
He and his band "Trajically Hip" played my bar in London, Ontario back in the eighties, $500.00 a gig back then, what a bargain
They were a University band that got started at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario
