Porterage. This is the clause for which it is most difficult to pin down a precise payment, as it depends so much on the instruments involved, the musician’s travel, the location of rehearsal and/or performance venue. It is therefore particularly important that you discuss this with the musician to be engaged as early as possible and ensure you have an appropriate contingency in your budget to cover costs which may arise from this clause. Please also ensure, if you agree to store an instrument between rehearsal and concert for a musician you engage, that you check your insurance schedule carefully to see if you are covered under your current policy or if you need to take out additional temporary insurance (this can be easily arranged – please contact xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx ).
Porterage. For the transporting of Bass Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, 2 Saxophones, Clarinet & Saxophone, Contra Bassoon, Tuba, Cello, Double Bass, Harp and Tymp/Percussion, musicians shall receive weekly porterage payments shown in Appendix B, provided that the musician will be required by the Management to remove his/her instruments from the theatre after the final performance of the week. If additional rehearsals or performances are called by the management at venues other than the theatre/concert hall they shall pay an additional porterage payment at the agreed rate. If additional rehearsals or performances are called by the management within the theatre/concert but at venues other than the pit they shall pay an additional porterage payment of 50% of the agreed rate.
Porterage. Porterage is a contribution towards the extra time, effort and additional costs associated with the transportation of large, heavy or multiple instruments in order to fulfil an engagement. Porterage groups are determined by whether a large or heavy instrument can reasonably be carried on public transport (for example ‘Cello, Contra Bassoon, Tuba etc), or whether it requires transportation by a standard-sized car (e.g. Double Bass, Electric/Bass Guitar) or larger vehicle (e.g. Harp, Timps, Percussion Instruments, Kit Drums). On this basis, musicians who incur greater costs should receive an additional contribution towards the outlay involved in running a car or van, and the time/effort involved in loading and unloading These larger or multiple instruments should by prior agreement be factored into an appropriate payment. For example, average standard payments for Double Bass, Electric/Bass Guitar are £18 (£22 inside London Congestion Zone). Contra Bassoon, Bass Saxophone or Tuba £15, and Cello, multiple wind or brass instruments £10. Harp, Kit Drums, multiple percussion instruments, Timps, Organ/Keyboard should all be by individual agreement with the player concerned. A full porterage payment shall be due for each day of an engagement, except where the engager has made safe provision for a musician to leave his/her instruments in situ overnight at a rehearsal or concert venue which has been used for the final call of the day, and which is also to be used for the first call of the following day. The engager must guarantee the security of the storage area and ensure that adequate insurance cover is in place in case of loss. The engager will use his/her best endeavours to ensure that the venue will provide parking facilities for those transporting large or heavy instruments by car.
