You have to book a band. They will have a standard fee for the performance. If they are not local then you will have to put them up in a hotel and give them some money for food and drink (referred to as a per diem).
Also, you would expect to cover their travel costs (second class train fare is normal). Of course you need to know how many members there are in the group, since they will all need travel, putting up and feeding! Here is a table showing the costs for some possible bands.
(You won't be surprised to hear that we made these ones up for the project! You can find real information about real bands for your own project.)

As an example, I'll work out how much the Raging Parrots would cost:
The cost per person is 拢80 + 拢120 + 拢18.50 = 拢218.50.
As there are four people in the band, this will mean 4 x 拢218.50, which is 拢874.
So, the total cost of the band is 拢1200 (the fee) + 拢874.
This makes 拢2074.

Work out the total cost for the other 3 bands.
You could design a spreadsheet to do this work for you. Make an extra column called 'total' and put a formula in to work it out automatically. You can then add as many extra bands as you like without doing any more work.

Local bands won't need a per diem and don't expect to be put up in a hotel.
