It's rare to find anyone who will pay what I want for NYE so I usually don't work it but I received a call from a pal on Friday night who was struggling to get a decent - non rocket - dj for the other room in his venue.
Fee was exactly double my party fee (which is well and truly in the "you canae get that room here" bracket) and the pubs were all closing early last night because of the old firm. Faced with a night on the couch or making a sizeable dent in my due tax bill I took the dough.
had a tough room but won them over. Wee woman at the end - "that was great thanks very much" me: Thanks (my face must've gave it away I wasn't 100% happy with it) "no seriously, even before you started I knew it was a flat crowd but you worked so hard on the mic and with the music to get the party going and you did" I thought that was quite nice to hear - the power of not dicking about whining on facebook when you're up against it eh? :D
Not even got much of a rest (well apart from the whole week off my teaching job :D ) - right back into it on Saturday in st Andrews for a wedding.
