"Kiddies Disco"

[Jiggles]

Great attitude Callum

Years and years and years ago I did that sort of thing to get me started so you keep it up (days before a mortgage, 2 hungry cats, a car to run and a girlfriend to keep happy, not to mention......no let's not even mention her)

good luck to you if you can afford to extend your efforts beyond reasonable price barriers, but I understand why you are doing it

Thanks youse two

Hi everyone
Happy new year to you all.
I have booked childrens birthday party for 21/1/07. I quote a price of £100.00 from 3.00pm to 6.30pm to this customer, she emailed me back, say this is too much so she ask if I could stay extra hour, and I emailed back, yes I will, so it`s from 3.00pm to 7.00pm finshed. I would not go for less, otherwise you have not made no money at all. If a customer happy to pay £100.00 for 4 hours for doing disco at children parties, including birthdays and christmas I will do them, but not 2 or 3 hours it is not worth it, when you takes about 1 hour to get the disco set up and after party finished take it all down.

fair play to you mate if you want to do that bt my days of doing a 4 hour disco for 100 quid are very long gone......... fair play to thosethough that love the job enough to want to do it nice one.

I wouldn't recommend a 4 hour kids party at any price! Far too long for a kids party IMHO!

[Jiggles]

half an hour is bad enough

3.00-7.00 limits your evening bookings, especially if it's a 7.30 start

Happy New Year to you all...

After a succesful xmas and New Years Eve period I find myself doing a couple of kids/teenage parties as my first gigs of 2007. These type of occasions are very popular in my area and are about 70% my yearly bookings (although I'm hoping things will balance out a bit!). I usually stipulate that 'they' (people booking me) provide the prizes if they want games - this will be happening for my 2hour gig for 11yo next week. They also want a lot of High School Musical which is annoying popular at the moment - my going rate £35 an hour unless travelling over 20miles ISH!. Don't usually get any complaints for the prices.

I got a sixteenth birthday too so will do 3.5hours on that with the usual Dance, RnB, club stuff - £140 for the night. The only ones I may do discount is schools as a good name in these places can get you a load of bookings!

As others have mentioned if they can get somebody cheaper I give them the spiel of what I offer and all pat/pli stuff - if they still insist they can get it cheaper - no point arguing. I just say thanks for the enquiry - no sleep lost!
