    Its all about having as many boxes ticked for the client as possible.

    If it's a choice between me and another DJ who they like as well, but i have the better looking setup that fits in with what they are after then they are more likely to book me.

    Or, if you were that way inclined you could charge more for a slimline system or vice versa.

    I agree with over 100 bookings for weddings this year and most sold on the appearance of show it tends to work for me.

    I use Evox 8 and have used them for parties of up to 200 at Xmas. They coped very well. I run a business, I don't feel the need to have several P.A.s for different jobs. Just about all of what I need is provided by the Evox.

    I think I've had half a dozen people interested in equipment in 30 odd years. "Would you like big speakers or stick speakers?" is not a conversation I think I've ever had...

    Usually the most interest I get is " do you have lights" ?

    Sorry, but your constant promotion of "success" is purely down to your price, or rather, lack of it.

    £245 is not a professional price for wedding disco, and you're simply being booked for being the cheapest.

    No wonder your disco is booked on the appearance compared to what other DJs at that price point are going out for.

    I will tactfully say that a price of circa £250 is not an unusual figure for an evening only disco round here, and in many other places. There will also be quite a few at £500, and a whole lot more under£150, even at some prestigious venues.

    Even at the £150 mark, many of those will perform in a professional manner, although it's patently obvious that it's virtually impossible to make a living at those figures. ( Unless you're out seven nights a week ) .

    We're veering somewhat , so further posts along those lines in this thread may either be deleted, or moved elsewhere, quite possibly to a dedicated thread in Supporters, just so our new recruits have something to get their teeth into. Thank you.

    Then what a treat you have in store!

    Just in case anyone isn't aware, when you scroll down the Forum page , the Supporters area will appear just below the Gallery, assuming you've been updated.

    What a load of rubbish,we are rural no job is more than 15 miles away back home by 1 am at the latest ,and for your information that is a good price and fair one for this area when you have another 30 years under your belt perhaps you can comment till then keep it zipped because this is nothing to do with this thread.
