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.

Unknown £1 2s 11d Unknown By Do. [Mr. Austin] [per] bill Austin was paid a weekly bill, probably for painting room supplies. However, only the record of 12 November 1757 specifies a "bill for Colours", and Austin began to be paid for candle-snuffing duties from the 1759-60 season onwards, so most of his bill payments cannot be confidently categorised.
