Dj 'talent' Performs At Bromley Autistic Trust Fundraiser
exbutlinred82 replied to Dukesy's topic in The DJ's United Arms
I'm not convinced that was the spirit the initial reply was sent in.My business only needed TURNING AROUND if I was unhappy with it. I wasn't then ....and i'm not now!! -
Dj 'talent' Performs At Bromley Autistic Trust Fundraiser

Wow....you have to be careful what you post on here don't you. It brings up an interesting point tho.....Do you always charge the same price or do you get what you can?? I didn't expect anyone to analyze it Taxman style. It was meant as an analogy as to how Redcoats are taken advantage of financially not as a boast to what I now earn .... hope most of you have taken it that way.Yes....I admit to being the cheaper end of the market and have mentioned this on many occasions here.Blame my deceased Dad if you like.....he taught me that £120/£150 was a lot of money. I have ch -
EBAY Gonna fly the flag again. Look for some bargains in your area.(advanced search). I have just bought 720 key rings ....individually wrapped with a £2.99 retail price in the corner. Will put in the party bags I'm now doing for Kidz Parties. Cost me £0.04p each!!

Do You Guarantee A Packed Dance Floor?
exbutlinred82 replied to UKHero's topic in Marketing & Business Matters
I think Big Ben needs a bit of support chaps!! We've all been there Ben....its part of the job!! Ok ....apart from a short stint at The El Griego in Torremelinos and The Bahamas (in the 60's) Butlins have never been abroad. However they do guarantee there will be something to do all the time......even if it is chucking it down.A possible parrellel to the dance floor scenario. If they are not dancing....get them clapping.Shang -A- Lang,Come on Eileen,We Will Rock You....Penny Arcade (Black Lace).Just let them know you are there and you are trying...they'll l -

Appreciate your comments Jim.It is a very poorly paid seasonal (wasn't for me...I was a Hotel Red) job. You would have to graft some very long hours for a very fickle public for £45.00 a week.The adulation and fringe benefits were worth it tho.We all like to be appreciated .,...don't we. This yearning has resurfaced in my later years and I am very pleased to say that I am experiencing the adulation again...only now I'm getting FOUR times my former WEEKLY wage for four HOURS work. Everything comes to he who waits Sorry Mac.....Not been Butlins for about 10 ye -

You bet!! I am proud of my Butlins heritage!!Cheap and nasty to some I know. I have been really confident all my life and learnt more in my three years there than in my 12 years at school. If anyone has teenage children I would recommend a stint there for them.You don't nhave to be talented....look at me?? -

Like me ...he has extremely limited talent. Nice to see that he wants to put it towards a good cause..... If I said like me it would be blowing my own charity trumpet. You keep going Ghoshey....Make hay while the sunshines...You've had your 3 minutes of Andy Warhol fame... Now how about you stop demeaning our proffession.Pick on another one. Plumber got spanner.....Spanners got U-Bend.....Britains got U-Bends....Spanners got Britains Plumber Talent. -
Tell you what Dukesy ...... Now I have painted the picture of my Dream Waistcoat....... If you find me one next time you are in Oxfam (3XL) not only will I reimburse you fully but I will personally come to where ever you are and kiss you on both cheeks!!

The Amp is a Juice (Mackie??) 1400.It has a Speakon Connection for bridging!!

Need a four speakeer sound on Saturday.Can anyone see a problem with linking up two amplifiers in bridge mode. Coming out of the mixer with one jack into bridged amplifier then into two speakers...and likewise with the other mixer output and another bridged amplifier and another pair of speakers?? Could do with an answer without OHMS and WATTS in it.....

My cupboard under the stairs is a graveyard for various external hard drives. They seem to blow if anyone breaks wind near them.Got spares buried all over the place......one with my ex-wife under the patio!!

Good idea Dukesy ....but don't want one £100.00 bad. Gonna keep searching off the peg!! Thanks again!!

Thanks for trying to help Dukesy....but not really. Its not Fancy Dress I'm after.I'm looking for a full length WAISTCOAT (Black) with a similair collar to what the Beatles are wearing. Had one about twelve years ago....when they were in fashion. Nice try McArdle.....If I get much busier gonna need one. Does anyone know what garment i'm talking about......Come to think of it ....DO I.

I use the B&Q roll as well...also for keeping my leads tidy when i'm putting them away.Shudder every time I go through the checkouts tho.Have I really just paid 8 quid for that??Oh well....can always put it against tax!!

Animated Or Unanimated Behind The Decks ?
exbutlinred82 replied to Dukesy's topic in D.J and Karaoke Chat
Hey....give it a go. Gotta have a rethink on one of my venues tho.They get so leary that I spent half of Friday night with my laptop in my hands in case it got knocked over.A whole new meaning to the phrase Mobile DJ...LOL. Will again recommend the Sidesaddle technique to DJ's bemoaning the lack of bookings.Iam absolutely deluged with them myself.I also have a partner who gets involved like Vokf....it helps. The crux is its more than playing music.The chances are if they like you...they will like your music!!From an Ex-Redcoat....you are never properly dressed without your sm -
Joking aside.... I want to find a site that makes us stand out a a bit.A really good but competitive Entertainers Outfitters.Anyone got any ideas. For instance I particularly like those five button long waistcoats with a round (Ecru ....I think) collar not a V-type one.The same collar as the Beatles Jackets ....if you know what I mean....CAN'T FIND ONE NOWHERE!!

Laymans Advice....big Night Coming Up>>
exbutlinred82 replied to exbutlinred82's topic in Techie Talk
Thanks thats great and simple mate. Surely the amplifier kicks out a certain amount of sound ....rather than the speakers drawing the sound from the amplifier.....keep it simple please. -
Ok since that tragic day I have been deluged with requests for MJ.......I'm ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED. The requests have been from all ages and I have to say I have seen real joy of the audience when I play his MUSIC.Whatever he may or may not have done in his life (TRIED....NOT GUILTY) now everybody seems to have forgiven him for something he PROBABLY hasn't done.....and thats good. Why do we have to loose these people to fully appreciate them.In the past I have been asked why I am playing that weirdo (at best) or paedo (at worst) but now thankfully that has all changed in a wave of eu

Need some help please.Lending the equipment in a really plush and large joint shortly for a wedding I have previously done a wedding there.I had to have all the gains etc nearly on full pelt to get what I call adequate sound....(maybe i'm going deaf??). Don't want to offend my mate who installed the system (by telling him the sound was poor).It has four speakers running off a 1000 watt amp.The speakers I noticed had a further outlet so that I could attatch 4 of my speakers to them by way of a jack lead. If I do that will it make the amp work too hard and blow? If I did

Great vocals....was hoping to see how you use the tune in Kidz Parties tho. Think me and you could do with a chat.Have a large following for Fun Parties and a lot of the ideas I have dreamt up myself.Not that anybody else is much interested. Shame you edited my previous post!!
