He needed to work his way in and not just uh, go on the coat tails of his brothers, which he didn’t want either. The best thing would be to send him back to Australia, form a band, go out on the road for twenty quill a night, and learn the hard way.

quid?
Could this be a miss-spelling? quid instead of quill.
Twenty quid a night means twenty Pounds (sterling) a night. Quid is a colloquial way to say Pound in UK English
