I've done a year at a smallish pub evry Friday.

I've either got bored with it or am fed up with adults behaving like spoilt children when they can't sing exactly when they want to....It don't pay a fortune but may be worth about £6,000 a year before tax.

Jacked it last Friday and as the Landlady is a personal friend (still) I know she wants to continue.....Its in West Yorkshire.

Please PM me if you're interested.Its obviously a Karaoke evening and would suit someone just starting out.Its not looking for a super wizzy dizzy light show:eek: ....just a patient (not me anymore):bang: Karaoke Jockey with a good selection of tunes.

Happy to discuss...;)

I didnt post this to discuss the fee...I was just trying to help fellow DJ's... I did make the point that it may suit someone starting up.

Or maybe you started at £350 a night did you??

Well thanks for that Bellshill....

There are two different types of DJ.There are the high powered Kitted up contracted up corporate DJ's who if you believe this Forum earn a fortune.

Then there are the more middle of the road type DJ's who take a smattering of gear out and use their personality to provide a much cheaper evenings entertainment....I am one of these.

The best business practise ethic on the site suggests that I should be aspiring to be one of the former.....but i'm not keen.Its no good trying to play for Manchester United if in your head you are only a Blackpool player.

But in the end I consider both ends of the scale to be DJ's....that is definately the public perception of me anyway.


AND you are so right a residency in your hand at £115 for a Friday may be useful for somebody...which was the reason for my original post.

To be honest I wasn't wanting the residency I was just enquiring about which venue it was due to the fact I used to do pub karaoke for a good year or so before I got established.

...see what I mean. :bang:

We all talk about raising the bar and going out for the right reward.
You mentioned the £6k figure 1st not me....and before TAX - this doesn't take into account fuel, bearing in mind this is now £1.05 to £1.15 per litre (diesel) plus overhead costs.....not a lot of mark up after that and on a major night - Friday...

Sounds like a bargain to me.

Or maybe you started at £350 a night did you??

I'm afraid (without willy waving) I did or nearabouts and why?.......because I choose to use the information available to me from this froum to my advantage.....and not waste valuable time doing other things.

I don't understand how you could work there for a year though at £115? Surely that took up a lot of your dates where you could of been earning more money at private doo's? It's actually very frustrating because I'm beginning to learn more about pricing....It's people like yourself that are bringing the value of DJ's down. If you didn't underestimate yourself and charge a ridiculous price like that...then the venue WOULD have to fork out more money and someone would get a decent wage. Just because you don't mind working for peanuts, doesn't mean others don't. I don't think people realise the knock on effect it has to the industry and individuals on this forum who are trying to put bread on the table. You have another job...some don't.

charlie what you have to remember that if he didn't do it at that price someone else will. now the bottom line is there is a market for £150 and below gigs, and there is some very good legal dj's filling those slots, they are not bringing the market down (illegal sixty quid sids now thats a different matter). their is also a lot of good dj's going out and getting three, four, five hundred pounds every week all over the country, these are the guys who concentrate on a complete service from the first phone call right through to the last song, it's all about presentation and service for these guys. now it is upto everyone of us to decide where we want tobe but really no need to keep critising each other because none of us are doing the other any harm really.

there will always be someone who will do it, but the other side of the argument is not always true, if they couldn't find someone to do it at that price then the party might not go ahead then there would be less work available

Let's be honest here: the pub market is NEVER going to pay the same as private gigs... most can't afford to pay private party rates.

Many small pubs think it's a good night if they take a grand over the bar on any given night. For them to pay £250+ for a DJ would be nonsense.

Bear in mind that selling an additional £250 worth of beer wouldn't be worth their while. They would make a severe loss compared to not having a DJ at all. A large proportion of the cost of that pint of beer is made up of taxes and the cost of the beer (not to mention the other costs of running the pub). The actual profit on each drink is pretty small, so to cover the cost of a DJ, they really do need to sell a LOT more drinks to make it worth their while.

There are plenty of DJs out there who are happy to do a pub gig. After all, it's often only a basic set up, local, no preparation, and (especially with a residency) easy... not to mention regular. All of these factors should make a gig cheaper than a private event: the DJ is spending an awful lot less time per gig, plus a residency is 'bulk purchase'.

We have a Friday night pub residency ourselves: it's just up the road and takes minutes to set up / take out. I have DJs who are (under normal circumstances) often unable to work on Friday nights due to other work commitments, but as this residency is so simple (and starts later), they can easily make this in time, so I am not turning away private work as a result of taking this residency.

In the past, we have also used the pub as a good 'training ground' for new DJs. They go out with one of the experienced DJs then slowly start doing more and more of the night until they are 'flying solo'. It's a great confidence builder for them.

Each DJ has to decide what is right for them and what is worth their while.

I do not agree (where the pub market is concerned) that if everyone charged £250+ for pub residencies that the pub trade would pay it..... you'd just end up with fewer DJs in pubs (unless you want to pay a cover charge or an extra £1 a pint?)

Well said Angela, you're exactly right. In fact, these days there are more and more options for the landlord to consider as an alternative to a live DJ. There are a fair amount of pubs in Edinburgh now which have a laptop hooked up with a playlist and 'automix' features (I am of course, not questioning the legitimacy at this point :))

Or alternatively more food...which has a higher profit margin.

I understand that in order for a pub's expense on a disco or quiz night to be worthwhile, they need to increase their takings by FOUR TIMES what they're paying out for the entertainment.

Therefore, a £250 disco would only worthwhile if it increased takings by £1000...which is probably why most pubs won't pay £250 for a disco!

No arguments, it's just some of us are astoundingly good, as well as being astoundingly keenly priced. ( I'd never demean myself by describing myself as "Cheap". How tacky. )

Or is it a saga?
Gave me an insight of who is helpful and who isn't!!!!
We're all helpful. ;) You'll need even more insight though, to work out who actually knows what they're talking about.


And thanks to you it lives on that little bit longer ;) :D

I wasn't trolling honest guv!!
I don't think it's a matter of insight really more a matter of opnion on what prices to charge!!!
Or even if its your sole occupation which in this current economic climate is a bit silly.
And I repeat i'm not trolling just voicing my opnion!!

Yes, that's what all businesses and the way they are run are based on, someone's opinion. Forget economics and profit and loss...

How can you possibly make a statement like that without knowing every single persons financial affairs?

And on that note I am off to bed to leave the full timers to it.

You have opened a few interesting lines of enquiry there!

Edit - clearly I was too late.

Agreed - he is only on post 7.

Opinions are opinions and once everyone has had theirs, then people are entitled to alter their perceptions, so give the man a chance.

Oh by the way everyone I stand corrected on the £200 is all I can get round here stance. Just booked my first £250 DJ only wedding (as opposed to DJ and vocal - its not just a DJ only no rig job).

My bar is moving in an upwards direction - Thanks for the advice chaps.

See my opinion is changed thanks to MDD. A happy place. :)

Good heavens. Well I never. Since we didn't have a poster by that epithet, I had to use some artistic licence. ;) ;)

Accurate in every respect Sir, but it doesn't have the stentorian tones of Mr Blessed, does it? :confused: :D :D He wouldn't need a mic, would he ? :D
