Seems to be getting more common. Had one person call me last tuesday to cover a birthday party on the friday and had another today to enquire if I can cover one on saturday night
I get very few last minute bookings, yet last night I took a booking for an uplighting job today, hence being up since 530 and about to set off.
I've had a few of these over the last 2-3 weeks, but not converted any. All fairly low-end venues.

I took a phone call from someone desperate for a wedding dj in Thirsk last Friday night at 9pm
Needless to say I don't think that one will have got covered
Getting last minute booking more and more , birthdays within a week , even weddings less than two weeks away , mostly less well paid , it seems that some people leave it to the last minute , and see if they can get a reduced price....

the was to the clients that seem to think that by booking late , they get a discount , half my work this year has been bookings less that two weeks before the event.

Gotcha. indeed. Well I guess you can thank Bridal mags and forums for this kind of practice.
If anyone tries to shave a few quid by booking everything late, especially for something like a wedding, then they obviously aren't concerned about what they end up with so long as the price is right.
If I was still gigging then this wouldn't be my kind of customer, and if I did happen to have availability then it would be offered at the usual rate. Take or leave.
