My ticket also arrived this morning.

I've no idea which day I'm going, though...

...It all depends on someone who has some merchandise for me.

Why was it crap? The oppurtunity to meet people, network and check out the latest products is not worth a day out?

what didn't you like about the show, Shaun?

do you feel it was just not relevant to you as a mobile DJ? (the show is increasingly dominated by high end systems aimed at theatrical and installation buyers with big budgets)

I'll be there. Going to pop up on the Monday with another DJ friend of mine from Gloucester.

Exactly and even if a lot of the products aren't relevant now to our industry, they will be in the future.

I don't understand the whole 'it isn't relevant' to DJs attitude.

We work with sound and lighting. PLASA has sound and lighting exhibitors.

Its actually a lot more relevant than it used to be. I first went in the 70s when it was BEDA, there were about 3 DJ related stands, the rest were domestic electrical lighting. Seem to remember being told that fibre-optics was the future. perhaps it still is??:D

I have booked the Monday off so I can stay as late as possible then I will drive home. Don't fancy staying over night when I can drive so many miles back to my own bed. :D

Plasa was interesting. Not really for the "DJ" but I did see a lot of Djs there. None from here but hey. lol.

Didnt really speak to many people as there were to many in suits and all but had a good looking around.

Also everything was flown like speakers ect. My brother myself said if it is not flown then its not cool. Even mixers were being flown upside down. lol. Ill get a few pictures posted up later. :)

No, for the whole industry not just for the DJ.

There was plenty of DJ related stuff to have a look at (Less than previous years granted) I still managed to come away with half a rainforest worth of paper with various catalogues & info.

We were still laughing about it the next day when leaving Plasa!

Oh, that reminds me, I've got a ROBE bag for you! I can post it down to you if you want, unless it can wait until the end of October?

Goodies wise, it was the same as Sunday :( , not a lot around at all, and there seems to be more of the bomber jacket brigade around yesterday.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but a mate of mine told me that PLASA was holding an event in Leeds this year at the same place as DJ SHOW North anyone got any info on this?

Adam_F
18-02-2009, 11:02 AM
It's nothing like Plasa at Earls Court, and not like a proper "show"

Details are here:

Why isn't it a proper show then?

I went last year, and it was more of a focus group, no kit out, just info (a bit like when we do wedding fayres and only have brochures and a presentation etc...)

It was more aimed at "meeting and greeting" more than playing with kit.

The format looks like it has changed a little for this year though, so may be an excuse to have a mid week session in Leeds!

James???? Danno???? :beer1: :beer1:

I have a followspot actually.

There are also several DJs on here that use blinders too.

As I said, there is plenty of other relevant stuff to look at, which you would know if you had actually been to PLASA.
