Overnight Stay. If the engagement involves an overnight stay and suitable accommodation is not provided by the engager, or if the time of return to the musician's normal centre of employment as defined in Clause 7(b) below is after 2am, a payment of £70.00 for bed and breakfast shall be made, plus a supplement of £25.00 when the engagement is within the area bounded by the M25 motorway. For the purposes of this clause, 'suitable accommodation' shall be defined as three-star or equivalent grade hotel, as available, with full breakfast, and single room accommodation as available and if required by the musician. Where a musician is booked within 21 days of an engagement and the cost of suitable accommodation exceeds the overnight allowance, the engager shall cover any reasonable additional accommodation costs. Any additional payment will be subject to prior agreement between the musician and the engager. Where a musician is able to prove that s/he has travelled to an engagement by rail and has been unable to return to his/her normal centre of employment by 2am, and where that musician is also able to prove that s/he has paid for overnight accommodation, then the overnight stay payment, as defined above, shall be made.
