lol

Sorry I have to disagree. What's all this fn secrecy concerning what DJs do or don't charge?!?? Bad etiquette gimme a break lol. I think what's worse is djs charging the earth knowing the promoter hasn't a cats in hells chance of covering the cost. Mate don't waste your time booking anyone for £500 as you'll be very unlikely to cover the cost.

would you go into a crowded pub and ask someone randomly, how much wong they make? no you wouldn't so....

but at home in front of your screen, people think they can ask just about anything.... the whole thing is just poor taste. period.

It's all about promotion mate.

Promote it well and it will break even at least.

Yeah, that's a great prospect - NOT! No, its about being smart. I know promoters who've lost tonnes £1k - 5k plus. Stop pushing views that are nonsense. Putting on parties with £500 djs is very HIGH RISK.

Speak to an agency you clown, like every other promoter with a clue.

Chef or Trolley Snatcha

do deals for multiple artists from the same agency....i've done it in the past but obviously im not gonna say who lol

coda is a bit out of range for yu i think but speak to way ahead, echo location and elastic...they're friendly enough and see what they can do...the artist has to want to play at your event though

if you dont know dj's you wana book, what the fuck are you doing trying to set up a night?!

This surely if you start a night you have a vision of where its gonna go
