My Residency requires 10 million PLI

[rob1963]

if someone is looking for PLI, I would strongly reccomend AMP DJ instead.

Agreed, because apart from being cheaper (£49 instead of £75), you don't get other things thrown in...which are irrelevant if you only want the PLI.

Slightly off topic I know but I think Paul & Sandy (to their immense business credit it has to be said), have gone away after the DJA debacle, had a serious rethink, made a few tweaks and then quietly sneaked up behind NADJ, SEDA & DJ@ while they have been too busy arguing with each other, bent them over, done the business and are now probably moving away into the distance.

They have taken all the good bits from the other organisations, got the right price point (because let's face it most DJs are tight as hell), and have now even kicked off regional meetings after visiting SEDA et all to see how to get the format right.

And you have no idea how painful it is for me to admire their work...

Back on topic, I have no idea why anyone would want to have a policy of less than £10 Million, if you burn down a venue then you are going to be sued by all and sundry, the rebuild costs will be the least of your worries...

labour only subcontractors

Labour only at the moment. The Dj's are self employed but the buck stops with me which is why i do not like to get new faces if possible.

I'm with Musician's Union too and mine's £10 mil.

I looked at that and its £130 or something isnt it
Equity would be a better bet wouldn't it

They are both a good thing to say your a member of as you get good legal backup and you can put a nice flashy banner on your website

MUST BE A FANCY PUB!!!
just changed to AMP DJ
for 10 million ....But no equipment cover!!

I looked at the site and it looks a bit rubbish. I think i would rather pay a bit more for NADJ.

SEDA

Do they do the same thing. was it you saying the meetings are really good



there must be something that covers multi ops

Agreed with almost all of the above, except I don't know why he has/has had issues with Paul and Sandy, and I probably don't care.
As to PLI level, well I for one simply searched for a reputable company offering PLI at a sensible price. 1Million, or 100Million was immaterial.

but is there a company that specialises in dj/entertainment ideally that covers one person for two staff. I did get a quote but it was £250

Probably Darren as he has been but no they don't offer PLI as part of membership.

£100 says they do before the end of the year though...

Water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned, we disagreed on a number of things, I suffered from keyboard rage and the rest is history.

If I met them today I would say sorry and buy them a drink, life's to short.

There is, but if you are worried about paying out more than £100, then it's not worth my while to tell you.

FFS Toby, if you are worried about paying that out, then stop pretending you are a multi op and a businessman.

Jolly glad to hear it. Here, have one on me.

at least give me a web link so i can have a look at it. Im far from stupid and can make up my mind if its value for money . The one i looked at was nothing specialized like dj guard which is what i want.

Not wanting to get into a never ending sarcastic conflict with you i have one residency and two DJ's whom are out and about twice a week most weeks for me. I do not fancy any more and it would be nice to have them covered if the price is good at this specific venue.


I like to keep thing nice and ....

Easy.

If you won't consider £250 then you won't be considering who I use. They don't generally cover sole traders anyway. I pay nearly £1000 a year for all risks combined commercial insurance. This includes gear insurance, PLI, employers liability insurance including equipment hire.

Sorry if I was rather short in the last post, but £250 is not a lot to pay out for PLI for 3 DJs.
