Karaoke with NO Presentation

[DJ Frankie]

I cant understand why the chap who started the thread advertises as a disco & Karaoke operator BUT his mother in law chose to use another operator even when her son-in-law was not working?????

Lets answer that shall I?

I'm in Anglesey, she's in England, and I'm not gonna travel over 150 miles for the payment she was giving him.
I thought I'd tell you lot because I wasn't sure what to do, tell her or not.


Thanks for those who gave me information which I found useful. I shall tell her ASAP.
As for that one who said about me not working, well aren't I allowed a night off?

If you are not slating anyone, then why pick on one person. I have edited your post to reflect that.

Because he said personally he can't see the point in this thread.

As for those who say those who slate people do so because the haven't got confidence in their own abilities.
Well, I've done disco's since 14, I'm 40 now, and never had any confidence worries about my abilities.

And as a Post Script to this, I've got to point out that although this Karaoke had these problems, he did have a pretty decent sounding system, when it worked.

Personally, I can't either.

If it was someone we could help and point in the right direction, then fair enough. All we have appeared to done in this thread is point out his faults.

Do you know him then Max......who do you know that charges £2000 for a wedding disco?
He downloads the tracks directly to his laptop but where from, maybe from an illegal source we don't know but if he were legit then don't you think he would have been more professional in his cabling methods and his inadequate playout system.

If you are a legitimate operator who does hold a Produb licence and Pli, Pat etc then there is no harm in asking another operator if they have them.

Yet again you have commented on something you know nothing about.

don't see how cabling methods would effect him being legit or not, seen many rigs on here with poor cabling don't mean they are not legit operators. yes he would look better and be safer but just because they have untidy cables surely don't mean they must be downloading illegally.

i do agree we all should spend a lot more time worrying about our own shows and weakneses rather than worrying about joeblogs

lets put it another way. What is the point of this thread ?? and
why did you start it ?? What do you intend to gain / contribute from starting such a thread ??

[StarZSoundS]

Another totally pointless thread !!

It does nothing for the industry and TBH I think the main reason people do it is because they are not confident in their own abilities !!

I think you have a point.....however....there is more creedance to this thread than some I have seen regarding footwear and food tastes.

If you can honestly say you never judge the DJ at the odd wedding we get to go to then fine.... I know I do....perhaps not publicly.... but in my mind he comes well befoe the prawns and sausage rolls in my assesment.Similairly if a chef is in the same situation he will analyze the food firstly

The OP hasnt condemned his COLLEAGUE he has reported what he has seen.So .....part of my job is to keep abreast of what the competiton is doing but given the reaction this poor chap has had I doubt wether I'll be posting my findings on here!!

But what is to gain from a posting which basically slags someone off ?? If this person was a member of the forum and was seeking to improve the service, then the OP could have rightly posted his opinions on how to improve.

This KJ however was hired to work in a pub. We don't know the circumstances, the fee, the requirements etc so why do we have the right to slate him on a public forum ?

Yes I do analyse other disco's but would not dream of sounding 'up myself' by commenting about them oon a public forum.

A few weeks ago I done a karaoke for a fellow forum member which in my own opinion (and indeed it was) a disaster - we ALL have them. This forum member has remained professional and did not come on here slating me. (BTW I now personally do not do karaoke, and now awaits a report from said forum member )

I would far rather hear about great discos than poor ones. That way I can gain knowledge and ideas of how to improve myself.
