Musicians (Band) £5 3s 4d Internal By Band of Musick
Hair, Beards and Wigs £1 12s Internal By Barber 6 Nights Account book records around this time are inconsistent as to whether a "barber" or "barbers" were weekly paid; this season's alternative account book (BL Eg. 2270), and the majority of records in the 1758-59 account book, specify "Barbers". It seems likely that CG's main barber, Mr Horsfall (Hursfall in BD vol. 8, p. 57), was paid money to distribute to other barbers.
