    Default Much help needed from you boys and girls, please.

    Not much levity on this one, on Thursday morning I had what turned out to be a heart attack! Turns out stents won't be enough, so operatiom is imminent.
    Cutting to the chase, I'm likely to need urgent cover for the next month, and quite probably longer. When I master the technology, I'll try to put a list on here. The redoubtable Andy Neen has covered tonight for me, splendid chap, thanks again, Andy. What a gentleman.

    Most gigs have balance to collect, but won't be a king's ransom, I'm afraid.

    Hello

    Hopefully this is what you wanted...

    April:

    • Sat 29th – Parklands Donny, £200, paying in full now, 13120279, only paid deposit
    May:


    • Sat 13th – Williamson, 25th Disco
    • Thu 18th – 13142474, Wetherby and karaoke, £200 confirmed

    • Sat 20th – Expanse Hotel Brid, £150 Deighton, all day, early set up, disco 2.30-6.30

    • Mon 29th – 13102194, Ox Pasture


    I know the pay's rubbish, but you all know I'm not the most expensive on here. Any help at all you can give will be most welcome. Most reliable contact at the moment is text, 07885319556, as when the nurses see me working on this, they confiscate it. 19May, contact Matty direct please.

    Next Saturday 29th is fairly urgent, needs karaoke also.

    One more request, while I welcome expressions of support from you, please keep this thread for offers of help, and don't clog it up too much.

    Thanks in advance, an Old Git expecting somebody to fit him with a zip up the front next week.

    Sorry to hear of your health scare, Peter. Thank god you'e been given a second chance - some people I know weren't that lucky. It's good you're doing the right thing and taking it easy.

    I hope you succeed in getting the cover you need. Are there no Facebook groups in your area, like the one I was talking to you about up here, where you might find DJs in your area that are not here on MDD?

    EDIT:

    I've also copied your post in to the Jobs Offered - Yorkshire section so you might want to go in and update it when dates are covered. Or let me know and I'll do it for you.

    Sorry to hear about your problem. I could cover, but my travel would be more than the event fee being down South.

    Facebook is a good option. I can't stand it personally but from a business perspective and catching up with people that i want to talk too its invaluable. You can join and only look at what you need to. I literally do my own two pages, my HDA group and occasionally post for something in the local Facebay or 'hythe and waterside people' if I want advise for something (like what schools are the best). but thats it.

    I have turned off all notifications and never look at my feed as its just full of people telling you what they ate for breakfast, how nice their hotel is in Hawaii or political crap. None of which I ned too know. However for a situation like this or last min emergency it may get you out of a tight hole.

    I hope that you get better and don't have any more problems, your the best thing about this forum!!

    There are plenty of groups, you can get anyone you know (whom are all probably on Facebook) and get them to join on your behalf, but I guess you can get stuff covered with the local DJ's you are familiar with.

    I quite miss the sin bin. Would be good to see some of my old posts when I was in it.
