    The prices you mentioned you will be charging are in the right range of what to charge. How right you are about the £60 - £120 companies in the locality. Glad to see you've set your sets higher and set yourself apart from the "cheapies" . A man after my own heart.

    Welcome to the community mate...looking forward to chatting (and networking) with you.

    Just be careful - if you run an agency, there is an awful lot of legislation you need to get on top of and comply with!

    Yeah I am aware of some of it - that idea is away in the future lol i wanna just establish myself first and get rid of the beer money DJ's who dont have PLI or PAT, as too many guys out there are ripping off the public and i would hate to see what would happen if a speaker or light fell on top of someone and they got seriously hurt...they wouldn't (excuse the pun) have a leg to stand on when it came to sueing the DJ/Disco Company.

    Plus not only that - i have went legal, got my tax sorted etc, i run about in a clapped out van (can't afford a new one yet), I have spent just under a grand changing my karaoke from copies to original discs... I dont wanna be a beer money DJ i wanna be reputable business
