Well ive spent a fortune this year on my yellow pages and yell.com add and guess what its been the biggest waste of money ever. All ive managed to confirm is a corporate function for december so far. Yes ive had a few people ring from seeing the add (two column in full colour) but guess what do they want to pay a decent fee not on your life. So next year its a very minimal or none at all for yellow pages and ime not going to bother with yell.com. I think the good old yellow pages has seen its end. Curiosly i was looking at the yellow pages in america on holiday last week and theres hardly a di

I have done a few gigs in the past for celebraties private aftershow party for david bowie at bingley hall staford radio luxembourg roadshow with tony prince and freddie star as elvis presley for the fan club at trentham gardens stoke on trent an evening function with lesley crowther on piano at trentham gardens stoke on trent all were really good parties and the celebs were very professional and polite alan

you will need more than one or two par cans to cover your floor effectivelly. Have a look at thomann they now have 1 watt par cans available for £116. They are a lot brighter than the 10mm ones alan

Not read that one but just ordered a couple of books from pro mobile i need something to read on my flight to florida. Alan

Yep i went too my first nadj agm thought it was well presented and a lot of hard work had gone in to make the seminars very informative. A big thank you to all those that worked very hard to make it a success and look forward to next years. alan

I was looking at the new par cans with 24 1 watt leds in on the prolight stand and they were bright said they would retail at about £175 theyre also going to be doing a 3 watt version alan

It used to be worse in the 70's when i started a venue would issue you with a form to write down every track that you played, what a nightmare that was. alan

Yeh i was asked for it last night at an 18th birthday party anmd it went down really well alan

I have got 2 of the eurolite par 64 led cans and theyre ok but you would need more than 2 of them to colour a dancefloor ime thinking of selling mine and looking at some led pars with at least 1 watt led's in, theres a few different ones on thomann at the moment. With led's you get what you pay for, the more they cost the brighter they are. alan

I also use the thomann winch stands to raise either 3mtr or 4.5 mtr of tri truss found them extremelly good value for money and very stable. Alan

I have for sale a cloud DM1200 mixer in very good condition New they would have retailed at over £500 A Bargain at £80 + carriage

Don't forget to factor in the cost of replacement lamps these usually are over the £200 mark alan

Iv'e got the behringer bass bins too they are very punchy for the cost. If you've put casters on them hope you put them on the back so that they can be taken out of play when your using them. Bass relies on the surface its sitting on to be radiated, ie it has to be felt not heard. The best positioning for the bins if your on a stage is off stage and if your usuing two place them together in the middle. alan

:welcome: alan

Thomann sell serge wool cloth in all sorts of colours at a reasonable price Alan

Have a look at the i solution ones theyre quite nice alan

Its called marketing alan

Dont asume that just because theyre 18 they only like the current music. They are usually into a much varied mixture ie 70's 80's beatles and party stuff, I do a lot of 18ths and get asked for loads of different stuff as well as the current music. Old school is also very popular with them. alan

you will need a dmx controller for either of the options alan

Ive always used pioneer cd players cdj's and cmx's and found them extremelly reliable never had a problem with any in over 10yrs never really been a fan of denon cd players alan

lets hope its not prone to crashing like their other hd controller alan

Kelly Rowland - Work freemasons mix gonna be a big tune alan

Well 2 x 50 watt for a 30 mtr length hall unfortunatelly you got no chance. You would be better to take a trip to your nearest disco shop and hire something suitable or perhaps leave it to the professionals. To listen to the next track needs more than just the sound card you need a mixer as well. alan

Well ive quoted for 5 different functions this week and lost every one purelly on price they wernt even interested at what kind of show they were getting just how much. I hope who ever they got for one of the bookings has fun because its a venue with a very sensative decibel meter in it and its a 13th birthday party fun to be had by them that night. alan
