As a West of Scotland DJ, I make a point of not playing Simply the Best or Just Cant Get Enough, for fear of starting something
It just takes some idiot to come out with some sectarian chant, and...
For DJ work, I work on my own and don't use an agency except for Christmas party nights, but I also play in a ceilidh band and work through a couple of agencies for that.
One agency is very...
I remember doing a wedding a few years ago and the first dance was a choreographed tango and the piece of music was the Masochism Tango by Tom Lehrer. Was an excellent opener.
I was drumming fir a...
I have had this twice at local golf clubs in the past few months and had to sign that I have provided my proof. No proof, no play, simple as that.
In addition, I work through an agent who gives me...
I generally have mine in genres, and have folders for decades as well. Recently I have started putting current tracks into years and start a new folder each year and put all the current hits into...
As fairly new to the forum, as well as AMPDJ, I will try and change tomorrow's plans to come along. Rutherglen isnt too far from home.
What is the format for the evening?

I have found that the times have changed with regard to Christmas tunes.
I am working through an agent for all my Christmas party nights and I am left to play whatever I want, as long as I play...
I did one 2 weeks ago in a small venue and just used a Beamz light bar on a tripod and a Kam cluster laser on my Dj stand. Easy set up and good floor coverage and just used 2 sockets.
Can't say how relieved I was last week that I carry spares. Turned up to do a 60th birthday party and when I turned on my main laptop to soundcheck VDJ wouldn't recognise my soundcard. Into the...
Both my gigs this weekend were quiet gigs, but in stark contrast of each other.
I did a joint birthday party on Friday night and even though there were only about 60 people there, it was a good...
It's great how two nights can be completely different. This weekend was certainly a good example.
On Friday night, I had a great night doing a birthday party which was not overly busy, but I had...
Slightly out of your budget, but I use the EV ZLX12 and really rate them, but they are about £650 a pair. They are 1000w and do work well in small to medium venues and the good thing about them is...
I did a Bay City Rollers night a few years ago. I basically did a 70s theme warm up then 30 minutes of the Rollers and then mixed some 70/80s music for the rest of the night. I also donned some...
I did a ceilidh disco on Friday night in a castle in the borders. The client wanted the ceilidh first but it was a struggle getting any of the crowd to move but all the guys in the band really...
I have also had the boards damaged in 2 Acme LEDs when I was out in Germany a couple of years ago, and it was a generator which caused it, but the PA episode was in a new school and I don't know what...
I carry spares of virtually everything. The only things I dont carry are spare speaker poles or a DJ stand.
I did have the misfortune to have a very quick set up in March and in the rush, plugged...
I remember a few years ago, the ceilidh band I am in was asked to do a wedding in Glasgow and we quoted to do the disco afterwards, and were charging £100 extra, and I would DJ that part, after all I...
I haven't, as the ceilidh band was where I was at mainly but over the last year or so, with my investment in new equipment, website etc my focus has switched.
This is something I would consider....
Hi there,
Been lurking around for a few weeks looking at different threads and have decided to take the plunge and say hello.
I have been involved in the music industry for over 25 years, in...
