Are you expecting a cancellation this weekend?

[Shakermaker Promotions]

I guess it depends on how bad the weather is where you are.
We've had snow overnight and it's not that bad really.
I am kind of expecting a call from my customer if it stays at it is because my Saturday gig is out of town and off some back roads on a farm.

I am in a big barn as I have mentioned before and the forecast is for maybe more snow but the temperature is supposed to be -3 or something. I'm not fancying it at the moment and I'm also not fancying the chances of it going ahead but you never know. It's all been paid for in advance but if it gets cancelled, a re-scheduled date isn't much of a problem. The thing is, I know how much this lady is looking forward to the party.

This wouldn't be a concern really if I was indoors but it's the fact that it's almost outdoors that worries me. I am not going to contact the customer and say anything as she could well be holding out until the last minute to make a decision. As far as I am concerned I will go and set up as normal tomorrow.

What's it like where you are and are you expecting a cancellation tonight or this weekend.

We had some pretty bad snow yesterday but while I was doing my pub quiz it started to thaw slightly. Main roads were fine this morning and back roads aren't too bad so long as you go steady.

I'm doing a 40th tomorrow at Driffield Golf Club but should be ok. I always set off with plenty of time to spare.

Worst thing is I need to do some repair work on my deckstand which won't be much fun in the freezing cold brrrr.

Hope your disco goes ahead ok Gary :)

I was booked for the Driffield Rugby Club for Sat--
Not Golf Club as per your post
Not sure what your issue is :confused:

[Shakermaker Promotions]

I've just had a text from the lady for my gig tomorrow saying that she has got some big heaters for the barn and also that the road has been cleared so it looks like everything is ok for tomorrow.

[DJ Paulie]

Very mild here in Dublin, but damp & foggy.

Luckily I was in North London last night working at New Southgate doing the hardest Barn Dance in the World ever--I wont elaborate--luckily I finished at 6pm ( School gig) and it snowed on the way back to Kettering but was not a problem.

Today its all melted on the roads so unless it snows again should be ok--im glad I dont have a gig tomorrow although my son is travelling down to Guildford for a gig so we are hoping it doesnt snow heavily in that area--no panic calls from clients---yet:(

You were 2 miles away from us, and didn't stop off for a coffee, Alan?

Shame on you! :p :D

I know I know but I was really worried the snow would stop me getting home:eek:

I was also looking to lie down in a darkened room asap following post gig neurosis--asking myself---how on earth did you blag your way through that gig Alan?

60 Infant School kids from at least 10 different countries being Entertained for 2 hours with me, a microphone and 6 tracks--im still baffled.

I was making up dances on the fly as I went along :daft:

Still seeing a little lad from maybe Nigeria dancing the Virginia Reel with a little girl in traditional dress from (maybe who knows) Roumania made my night.

I need to lie down again:daft:

[Corabar Entertainment]

I'll let you off :D

Things are looking a tad white this morning, after a frost approaching -15! :eek: :eek: :eek: Car's a runner, but I'm not even going to try the van. I've got a day job booked in which may not happen, and our visitors arrived last night in a poorly motor car. Three guesses who's going to have to try to fix the :Censored: thing. Ah well.

-6 last night but bright and sunny. No more snow since last weekend. No gigs this weekend but I did have to cancel my Monday afternoon and evening classes. Tuesday only 8 people tuned up and only 10 on Wednesday. Havent made much this week!

[Shakermaker Promotions]

I've just got back from setting up for tonights party and my fingers feel like they're going to fall off.
It took me 2.5hrs to set up in freezing conditions. I took a photo of the empty barn and will try and take some more tonight if I can of everything in full swing. I had 3 Great Danes milling about too but they are really cool.

It's supposed to be around -8 tonight so it will be interesting to say the least. They have 3 big industrial heaters there so that should be ok.

I've put in the following:
4ft Ultimax Stand with Starcloth
Denon HD2500
Laptop with VDJ and Controller
Crown XLS802 Amplifier
2 x JLB JRX125
2 x Peavey Pro Subs (haven't got my new ones yet)
2 x Mackie SRM450 V2 (connected via Master 2 on Mixer)
2 x ADJ Megabar (on top of speaker stack)
2 x ADJ Starballs
2 x Revo 3's
2 x Martin EFX2
4 x Kam RGB192 Led Panels
1 x Smoke Machine

I couldn't even gaffa down leads as the tape wouldn't stick to the floor!

I feel very sorry for all the ireland fans who travelled to Paris for the rugby.
