Hey guys,

Well just to let you know I'll be coming along on Monday, and I'll be bringing my friend too

Should be a good evening! It will be great to meet other DJs from the local area. Also a great way to network with other locals as well.

I would attend the SEDA meetings but unfortunately these are usually on nights I have bookings and also it's usually too far away for me to travel in one night.

Hi,



As promised I am starting a new DJ association for Southampton (& Hampshire).

The purpose of it is to meet, have fun and network with like other minded DJ’s.
It is also a chance for DJ’s who are thinking about buying some new kit to try it out if another member has it.

The association is open to Mobile DJ’s, Radio Broadcasters & Club DJ’s so if you
know anyone who would be interested then please forward their contact details and website address.

Anyone is welcome but they must be modern entertainers with a good business attitude.
Each member must:

Show proof of PLI & PAT
Must be an active professional DJ
Must have a good portfolio of events
Most importantly have a good attitude

- Basically no DJ’s who have outdated/unsafe equipment go out at £100 and do not care about the client.

We will have our first meeting somewhere in the centre of Southampton on

Monday 29th of March probably @ 7-9pm.

The evening will involve the following:

- a general introduction of you and your business
- some food & soft drinks
- an interactive music quiz from Steve Gladders
- beer, (if your a proper DJ you wont have to get up the next morning LOL)! - The venue will be near the station.
- a demonstration of the Vestax VCI from DJ Sunny (spe entertainments) + other gadgets & lighting

Please let me know if you can attend and judging on the response I will book a suitable venue. (There maybe a small charge of £10-20 per person depending on the venue).
If you have any ideas of your own then im all ears!

Thanks

That's me out then, I have to get up and fix boilers the next morning so I mustn't be a proper DJ?

sorry tony, I completely forgot about you (i think). Can you not pop down for a bit - You could be in bed by 10 if you left early

[Alex]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say thank you to Toby for an excellent evening.... really enjoyable and it was great to learn about the vestax mixer (thanks sunny) .....

My business partner, graham, had a wonderfull time too... and it was great to meet you all....

Can't wait for the next one

[Paul The Party Dj]

Seconded! Great to meet you guys.

Not a bad turn out for the first meeting with DJ's coming from about 25 miles in each direction - well not from the South yet, nobody swam over from the IOW. But we did have DJ's from Bournemouth in the West, Portsmouth in the East, and Whitchurch to the North!

Well done Toby, great job. I'm thinking late May, early June for another one?

[yourdj]

Cheers for everyone who made it. Very useful night all round and good fun. Steves quiz was a bit on the hard side but very well out together

Alex your doing the next one so make it easier.
There will also be a prize for the winner

If anyone has any ideas or things to demo let me know and you can do the demo next time (with a tester to make sure it works properly )

if your a proper DJ you wont have to get up the next morning LOL)!

Good job i didnt i have been in bed all day - too much alcomihol afterwards

Here are the pics:











Even Hugh Grant turned up




we will have another one start of June i think?

[Alex]

Heya Toby,

Looking forward to it.... I'll make sure the quiz is tricky but nice

Also guys and girls I'll be demonstrating the event planner software "DJEvent Planner"... I'll be showing you the basics, event planning, quotation sending.... and how to implement on your site.

See you all soon

Alex
