Starting off the night

my lightening at the moment consists of two fx and a centre box, but when required i hire the rest a full set up. I know i need to buy some but at this stage i need to get money in first before i can do that sometimes i wish i hadn't bothered setting up business lol

Could you not just announce that?

I could do? And I might, as they sound a little cheesy! And they also have my old disco name on them!

If you must use strobes, get some warning signs made and laminated to mount on the entrance to the venue at every show.

Anyway, back on topic...

Background music --> 3 / 4 good cover versions--> something lively

In terms of lighting during background (depending on what I have used), usually a static state of 2 nice colours, perhaps purple and congo blue (AKA poor man's UV) to creat a nice 'mood'.
