Got my first gig coming up this Thursday......2hr indie set following 3 live bands at a local venue..........played in bands for years........never got this nervous!

[Corabar Entertainment]

Best of luck!

I'm sure you'll do fine.... you've spent lots of time preparing and making sure you're ready, but don't worry if the odd little thing doesn't go to plan.... nothing ever does!



Don't forget to let us know how it all went afterwards.

Good luck, I'm sure it will go well.

Good luck, one BIG tip I can give is to get there in plenty of time, maybe even 2 hours before the start time to make sure everything is working and also gives you time if any unforeseen issues set you back.

Make sure you get the sound up-and-running first, then concentrate on the lights and getting your rig nice and tidy.

Hope it goes well, and here's to years of good disco's

Good luck with the gig.... if you're as prepared as can be I'm sure everything will go great for you.

I've only recently started to do gigs for "strangers", i.e people outside my family/friends circle. I spent about 3 years building my confidence and experience working in a small circle of people. Even when I did start stepping outside that safety zone, it wasn't really planned. Word just gets around and you start getting requests from this friends friend and that friends workmate.

I was very nervous for the first couple I did, but now I'm starting to be more confident and have a system that I try to follow. You'll get such a buzz when you're playing to a full dance floor and people tell you how much they enjoyed the evening afterwards.

Please do come back and let us know how it went :-)

Thanks Robbie and I will. I introduced myself in the newbie section a year ago to the month with a reasonably clear idea of what I wanted to do, an indie DJ that could go mobile if somebody wanted one.

Having struggled a bit to get gigs being so specialist, I have started my own genre night which launches this Thursday. If I fall on my backside well at least I tried!
