You know, I posted this thread for advice on finding work on cruise ships. If I wanted opinions on other matters I'd have asked for them. I find it quite upsetting, really, that some of you have...

That's fine.

I prefer Del Boy's motto of "He who dares wins" :)

You had the support of my friends and family? Well, that's nice to hear!

My wife and I have been together 13 years, married for ten of them. We are solid. Our relationship has been tested every...

Thanks. My wife fully supports me in this so there's no question of her not being behind me on this. Of course, I'll miss her and the kids and I hope they miss me too! But I don't feel I have much...

Thank you kindly, both of you. I shall seek out Mr Brown and check out that link, too.

The notion of eventually working on a cruise ship or at a hotel has always been on the cards for me but with a wife and young family to support I've prioritised more local work - or certainly gigs...

Worked like a dream - now why didn't I think of that?!

Right, off to the first Christmas gig of the year now. Wish me luck!

Thanks, teenybops (and yes that was what I meant!).

I'll try that method out - it sounds like the perfect solution to my problems - and post the outcome.

Thanks again.

Is there any way to put the lights into slave/master mode without using the remote control? Every time I use the remote, it's touch and go as to which light will go into 'slave' mode - is there a...

In ten years' time you'll be able to send a holographic image of yourself to the venue and do your show that way. You won't even need to leave your living room.

I don't give two hoots what or who he is. There's only one way to take "yawn" in my book. He should read his forum's rules if he's one of its owners.

I couldn't agree more. And the performer uses what they feel most comfortable with. Laptops do feature in my job because I use one to download my backing tracks and I couldn't manage my website...

Yawn back at you.

Aye. He's both rude and bad at maths.

Thanks. I've just taken delivery of a stand from a company called Ekho. Never heard of them before but I was encouraged by the description of the stand, that it was made of reinforced steel and...

Laptops are everywhere nowadays. Each to their own but I prefer to use a dedicated piece of kit rather than something that's simply convenient - also I might be tempted to check on my emails between...

Ahh, I see what you mean now. Clearly he wasn't a member of this forum!

Well I said it because that's what happened.

At a wedding gig recently, when I'd finished my first half the DJ came on and his gear wouldn't work. He spent nearly ten minutes to no avail and then asked if I could help. Luckily, I had about...

I know one thing, there's a heck of lot for which we don't get paid. Being an entertainer is a twenty-four hour job. Even when I'm not doing something performance-related (getting hold of new...

Thanks, Shaun. I'm probably worrying too much before I've even tried it out but lighting is a new aspect of performance for me so apologies if it all seems like so much hand-wringing.

Okay, another day another stupid question from yours truly:D

When I get the T-bar, where do I put it? (Clean answers only, please!) See, I was going to put it behind and above me but the received...

Thanks, all. Just off to take the kids for their weekly swim (such is the life of a rock 'n' roll star, eh?) so will be making some sort of purchase this afternoon based on all your help and advice.

Thanks, Excalibur. Even with the six quid charge, those leads are still cheaper than elsewhere.

I'm going to get a T-bar for the lights. Again, there seems to be quite a difference in price...

Blimey, they are cheap. Thanks very much, fella.
