many stars start their career by joining a musical group. this is the way these days. but there are many groups and the competition is hard.groups appear and disappear almost overnight. only a small number stay. almost all of them have to work very hard before they reach the top. and very few reach the top and stay there.

in england there are about thirty or so groups at the top. most of these do not earn much money--perhaps 400 pounds each time they perform. what is more, they habe to bear high expenses. they have to pay a manager, for example. a good manager is very important and he takes about one fifth of their earnings, or perhaps more. they also have to pay for their clothes, instruments and vans.
