We've now been in the "disco business" for a year and we have, almost accidentally, found ourselves in a situation where we have two different business offerings. Pub Entertainment and the Mobile Disco set up. (We have intentions of creating a separate identity for the two businesses with separate websites etc.)
The Pub Entertainment side is brilliant, we've managed to secure a karaoke residency and have other regular venues one of which has the potential to become another weekly residency very soon.
On the Mobile Disco side we've done probably 20 gigs or more including Weddings, Birthdays and Corporates. Having only been invited to one function in the last year as a guest, we were disappointed that they had a band playing and didn't have a disco, so we've still not been able to compare ourselves to what others do.
Our mission for 2010 is to improve. Improve our show, improve ourselves, improve our business and ultimately improve our prices. Who knows maybe one day I can give up the day job.
Rather than start various threads on here about how you structure a nights entertainment, how you work the room, use the mic, etc. which have all been done before. I thought I'd offer my services as a roadie - I'll help you lug gear in, set up, pack down and load the van, etc. in return for a night of observation.
While it would be good to work with someone who is positioned above our target market and uses equipment that we still aspire to own (such as top of the range playout systems, moving heads, uplighting, etc.) so I can see/hear these things in action and see how you use them, my main intention is to see how you work and what you do to get the party started.
So, if you want to help me out by letting me help you out, for nowt, drop me a pm, or reply in here and we'll see if we can sort something out.
Cheers,
Chris.
