I don't know for sure. I didn't see money exchange hands from the club manager to the band
leader. But I would assume, that since the band leader and the manager were chatting for
some time after the gig that this is when the money exchanged hands. He came back out of
the club and quickly bolted. It was clear before the gig that I would get paid X amount.
Granted it was pocket change but if you were told you would get paid X then you would
expect to at the end of the night. If it was understood that I would work for free, which
I would now since I am not very experienced, then it would be fine.
Another
lesson learned.
