Hey, Well after many years of happy djing the time has come for me to "Hang up my headphones". With a bit of sadness I have decided to sell my kit. I will start it off as a job lot but if I get enough interest in separate pieces I may consider splitting it up: Audio KAM KCD 960 Twin CD Player KAM GMX 5 MK II Mixer Numark WS-32 VHF Radio Microphone Dare V800 Amplifier Pair of Skytec 300w Full Range Speakers Associated Power and Signal Leads Lighting Pair of Constella Chameleon 4 DMX Moonflowers Pair of Skytec Minimoons Geni Spark 18" UV Light Mini Stro

Hi, Is there any one in the Stoke on Trent area who would happen to have about 4m of trilite or similar including stands for me to borrow/ hire for a friday night in May. I know its a bit early but just wondering? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Yes, I would have opened the buffet, let the guests eat and then done the wedding speeches. I feel my music choice was well balanced, I tried to change genre every five or so songs so different sets of people come onto the stage. Technically I could have hired in some wash fixtures and a dry ice machine at an extra cost to the customer to make t a bit more magical, I may offer that as an extra for other weddings. Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Cheers everyone, thanks again for the help, I now have to put all my kit away, yay? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Just got back from the gig, it was great. I found it to be almost identical to your average family gig only with the speeches and 1st dance before hand. All went to schedule really and it seemed to work quite well. For music I played modern, layed back rock and stuff for background music, I introduced best man and groom for speeches then a bit of modern pop/ dance for about 20 mins. Buffet music went back to more modern rock and pop. I introduced the Bride and Groom for the 1st dance which was Westlife - You raise me up. DMX controller let me project rotating hearts around the

Hi, Thanks for the advice, it has helped me a lot, it seems that everyone does it their own way. I have a running order planned yet will play it by ear as well. Thanks, Daniel

Hi, To save everyone the pain of seeing Richard in various types of underwear there is already a video on the net. http://stagecraft.theprices.net/gallery/ca...blewrap-rm.html I don't agree this method is correcg because it doesn't actually coil the cable like a slinky. I just coil it one way, away or towards me and the cable natually twists into place. Thanks, Daniel

Hello everyone, Tomorrow night is my first wedding and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips/ tricks. The running order is as follows. 7:30 Start - Play backgroup music (layed back chart music). 8:00 Turn the volume up a bit (client requested this), she wants a bot of dancy music early on which in my experience never works well, again here I will play modern music, saving the proper disco music for later. 8:30 I call up the best man and groom (advice on best way to do this), they do their speaches. 8:45 I annouce buffet and later announce cake cutting. 9:30 I call up

Hi, 1) Get the Phone call, if email I generally ask the client to phone me 2) Put information into the database whilst on phone (tell client I will be sennding them the documentation and will require a deposit to confirm) 3) Print off mail merged confirmation letter, 2x copies of contract and a copy of the booking form. 4) Put an envolope in printer to print clients address on and also do a prepaid envolope for them to return contract etc. 5) Post paper work 6) Signed contract comes back to me complete with small deposit. 7) Call client few days before event to confirm everything 8)

Hi, With regards to paper work I think the best thing to do is make an Microsoft Access database where you can whack in all the information. You can then mail merge this information (name, address, time, location, venue, date etc) into the confirmation letter and do the same with envolopes if you want. Each client gets 2 copies of the contract, 2 booking forms (as in pic), 1 confirmation letter and a stamped addressed envelope to send back a compay of the booking form with any ammendments and a copy of the signed contracts.

Hi, If you know what your doing you could take the transformers out? I know someone who did that with a load of acme winner scanners a while back and I bet plenty of others on here will know too. Looks great by the way! Thanks, Daniel

Hi, That would look ace with a decent 250w MSD colour changer in it. DMX them and youve got one ace effect. Good for weddings definately. Thanks, Daniel

Hi, I would set up and start up, put some general music on as normally people wont dance until after the buffet so i'd say you have about 2 hours to go home and get the cds you need. Thanks, Daniel

Cheers, Thanks, Daniel

Well Richard you won me over. my rig a couple of years ago http://www.djfroadshows.djworld.org.uk/newyeardisco.jpeg my rig now http://www.djfroadshows.djworld.org.uk/DSCF0333.JPG bit of a difference lol. Thanks, Daniel P.S. Sorry for the huge picture size

I can tell im already going deaf eh..what ya say http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif Thanks, Daniel

Hi, If you dont already know I have a pair of skytec 300w passive cabs atm with 15" bass drivers and peizo horns. Now I recently blew a horn in one of the cabs so refitted it with one I found in the garage (as you do) and it sounds much less harsh than the original horn. Anyway what im asking is it possible for me to upgrade the horns to something a bit nicer sounding instead of upgrading the whole cab because i feel the bass drivers are ok sounding but the tweeters are definately too harsh. Thanks, Daniel

I can assure you that the lx tape will eventually peel away and melt. Get some proper par cans your cheap skate! Thanks, Daniel

I have no other earnings except my discos. im gonna sort all this out over the summer I think. Thanks, Daniel

ah Thanks for that. So as long as I keep track of everything and keep records thats the way to do it? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Ive just been pondering over the dreaded three letter word of tax. I am wondering what I need to do to stay on the right side of the law when it comes to tax. I have done a quick forum search and found one post and crispy said something like you need to earn £4700 a year before you become eligable to pay tax. Is this true? Is there anything extra I should do because I am earning waaay under this ammount per year. Do all my earnings collectivly group up over the years until i reach the threshold then I need to start paying tax? Sorry for all the questions but its a bit confus

QUOTE Just a personal preference, but I think it would look nicer with 2 matching lightscreens Or no lightcsreens at all lol, I'll get my coat. Thanks, Daniel

yup I have posted above and yup they are Chameleon 4's. You can get these for about £250 a pair from Constella and they really are cracking fixtures. Thanks, Daniel

Hi, The bright two lights are Constella Chameleon 4's. I also have two skytec minimoons lighting the stage which are really effective. Thanks, Daniel
