Thanks both.
I sometimes wonder how I'd scrape by without stems. Have I got too dependent on them? They're probably the main reason (other than sheer expense) why I've not even pondered a...

I had a wedding last weekend where unusually the B&G requested an amount of drum & bassy type stuff. All pretty commercial - Chase & Status etc. I think (and according to feedback I got later) I...
A change from the norm on Friday - an 18th birthday party at my favourite castle in all the land.. No request list, just an easy-going customer who said as long as there's not loads of heavy rock...
A wedding last Friday night with, it'd not be unfair to say, a bunch of scallywags in a nice venue.
My remit was fairly easy on paper. 21 pre requested tunes & a tip I'd need to play some NS and...
A bit of a different kind of wedding to the norm for me. My client was so laid back as to be nearly horizontal & she trusted me to be able to wing it with whatever came my way. When I saw what the...
It was going so well til I saw
OASIS
Ugh. :lol:
I always check when it's a new venue & the policy is generally that the finishing time is the finishing time. Crowds baying for one more is as Neil said a bit of a compliment but there's often at...
Filthy animals? Pretty much sums up too many party guests I've seen this year. Sadface.
Anyway a very merry Christmas to you too Wayne & you Julian.
I've sworn off new year's eve bookings...
I honestly don't know what it is Peter, but a sizeable number of female requesters arrived armed with a cob on this party season. Synchronised moods maybe? This weekend's were lovely though. I...
Friday brought the prospect of a really fun walk down memory lane to the 1990s. Guests started to arrive & I span a load of lower tempo 90s tunes interspersed with Christmas songs as food courses...
To sum up the last few gigs:
Awful loadin on an outdoor metal fire escape, awful people, played for not much more than an hour thanks to a terrible band & even worse saxophone player. I won't be...
Mobile? While I'm quite fond of a driving adventure I'm not a massive fan of getting home the wrong end of 2am. If I can get the kind of money people say you can't get round here, round here - I'll...
A short notice booking for a Halloween Disco at a social club not far from me came my way. An adult party ooooh!
So, armed with my carful of gear I made my way, announced my arrival at the bar &...
Funnily enough I ordered a pack of NFC thingies the other day before I saw this thread. I'm planning to use one at gigs for instagram follows/mentions (eg a follow for a request) & one for wedding...
I was booked to play a wedding last night & from the outset the couple were after me recommending a sax player for their reception to play along with me. For various reasons I hadn't yet worked with...
If you use Wordpress for your website it might be an idea to look at MDJM aka Mobile DJ Manager. It's a free open source CRM I've been using for years & for a very reasonable fee they offer payment...
Yeah I'm not overly concerned as long as the leads keep coming in. I just struggled to understand why there's an apparent disconnect between reality & what google tells me
Search console.
Hmm I wonder why mine aren't being tracked then. According to them it's all set up ok. I'll look at it again soon.
Re Pulsar Zero 4000s being rare these days Wayne, have you considered using a DMX dimmer/switch pack instead? I know it wouldn't be as compact but....
I thought it might be a privacy settings thing on the user's end but I doubt that many people even set things that way.
As for getting hits from outside your usual area I'm trying my best to NOT...
It's been going on longer than that. I just get on with things, happy I get leads despite Google's foibles but it's still a concern
Like a lot of people I keep a watchful eye on my webstats & search engine goings on. For a while now I've noticed that when I've had a flurry of leads Google seems to think I had very few, if any...
Despite the fact it took three people who knows how long to lug that lot in & set it all up there really isn't very much light output evident in the video or the photos later on. Was that video...
A while back I was playing the bride & groom's chosen last song & a guest came over. He wanted me to yank it & put his choice on. You'll Never Walk Alone, because it's the groom's favourite.(a...
