  1. i love it, i'd say keep it, shouts out a fun loving personality tongue out icon
  2. i considered doing that but was put off it because a) people aren't expecting music when they click on the site and it may take them by surprise, instantly making them annoyed with you. b) They may not like the particular piece of music which may give them an unconscious negative attitude towards you. Just my humble opinion smile icon
  3. I agree, it's good looking, although you might want to experiment with different shapes to make it look more exciting thumbup.gif Shawn, dont suppose you could tell us how you got that rotating graphic? (MOD EDIT: I've just combined the two posts into one fer better readability. smile icon)
  4. I used www.cooltext.com to make the one below for free
  5. Ok, thanks for the replies guys, wasnt expecting such an indepth analysis, much appreciated. Not much time to do this because going out for a drink!! priorities lol I have got rid of the annoying dancing guy as you suggested, changed the colour of the text in the menu, tried to make the pricing table easier to use and changed some of the wording through out the site. I have not made much change to the equipment pages as i am not sure yet as to keep this. I have changed the copyright notice as suggested and removed the 'last updated' piece of text from the database page.
  6. I am really so glad i read this today, i was thinking of parting with my hard earned money to one of these on-line agencies. Can anybody tell me the name of a realy good, commission based mobile dj agency please, it would be most appreaciated?
  7. I personaly hand deliver my information to every venue i can find! Even if they do their own entertainments, they are usualy more than happy to stick up a poster and put some cards on the bar!
  8. thanks for your comments so far, that £155 would buy a lot of cards and stamps!!. Tried paid advertising for an old business and it was an extreme waste of money lol. I have actually been visiting venues in person and giving them the spiel but I thought about sending mailings to large local business (factories, insurance companies etc) and offer them a discount if they book for office parties or if staff book and mention the company. What you think of this idea? I did have a funny source of business.....a I bumped into a monk who used to shop where i worked and bought a lot of booze.
  9. Skodas are supposed to be good now!! not in my experience, had 2 of them and they were both lemons, had to threaten the dealer to take em back!! You'll never belive what i drive now, a 2006 vauxhall corsa, which, so far, has given me no problems. With the assistance of a roof rack, i can even get all my kit, including my trussing in it and on it at the same time!! (sits a bit low though lol)
  10. I quote for the time I will spend performing and also add on costs if traveling outside my normal area, but this doesnt start for 40 miles
  11. Hi there, I have just started up, had my rig for over a year but didnt work the right hours in my main job to take the rig out. Anyway, I am doing all the usual stuff, approaching pubs, hotels and leaving posters and cards everywhere and I was wondering whether it is worth the time and expense to do a leaflet drop? I was considering paying for 5000 a5 to be printed and distributed amongst the more affluent neighbourhoods. Has anybody got experience of doing this and whether the response was worth the time and money? I know that the responce you will get to your campaign wi
  12. Hey, that post wasnt bad saying it's the first time i've done it from my mobile phone!!!
  13. My 7 year old Technics sl1210s in their coffin case!!, survived a stand collapse once and a pint of beer smashing on the right hand one, still work flawlessly!!
  14. I dont have the subs but i do use the 502a main speakers and if they are anything to go by you wont ae dissapointed. I was reccomended to buy the subwoofers by others on here and hope to do this soon
  15. I use a black cloth supported by fishing wire tied between the lighting rig's stantions. I have added small stars (130) onto the front of the sheet. I use a white sheet with stars for weddings and christinings. :dan+ju:
  16. I live in alnwick and the last company never turned up :damn: , so, anybody in the northumberland area who wants some business, give me a shout
  17. Errm, i dont know how to tell you this....i have a sik s39 and i bloody love it....but the lasers were withdrawn from sale from ebay and from the main dealer due to build problems and regulation problems with them Seems that hey had a few small problems with the lasers, i origionally found out on teh dj maximus site but that article has gone now but i hid a copy on my website HERE so be careful when using them....still using mine though :Thumbup:
  18. i have 2 x technics 1210s which i take to most gigs for teh club mixing and also to allow music that i only have on vynal to be played and incase anybody wants to bring some in. I much prefer using them to cds
  19. ok, lets get a couple of things straight here!!! A) We did not threaten to put him in teh bin, i said we felt like putting hiim in the bin. Infact, he didnt even know there were other djs in there B) we were not working that night...because we were guests at the wedding!!!...that makes perfect sence to me!!!! oh, and the wires hanging thing...it's all about making a professional image of yourself.....if people see you cant be bothered to at least make things look good, you must not be bothered to do the night....which was blindingly obvious during his performance. i go
  20. Hi, one of the main problems i find with being a mobile DJ is that when i go to another person's gig and the DJ is completely lousy, it really spoils my night. I want to rip them from beind the booth and get on with the party myself!! Does anybody else have this problem. I went to a wedding party the other night and the dj (no names mentioned) was absoltely lousy. Here are a few things i noticed: His rig was a complete mess - he didnt bother hiding any cables. The cables from his lights were not even wrapped around his rigging but went straight down to the plugs infront of the dj.
  21. just a quicky, i know it's a pain but, i am in the process of indexing all my cds and yes, it is taking a very long time, i am adveraging 4 cds an hour. with the index, you can put them in their own decades and generas with comments aside to help you remember the song. This can also help as an edited printout can be given to your client before the gig so they can see what songs they would like.

    try doing a demo cd and a covering letter, send it to them directly and then keep phoning them up until they give in and speak to you, ask them if they received it and what they thought of it.....even if you are annoying the c:cense: out of them, at least you can say you have their attention!!! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/071.gif
  23. everything has been ordered today so lets see how it's turned out (already picked up a numard cdn22 twin cd player). Having the fun of indexing hundreds of cds, boy is this a big job. Even managed to pick up a dvd with 1200 karaoke files on it for £62 on ebay!!
  24. Had one of these for 3 years now and used mobile.....only problem is one channel fader is a bit dodgy but this isnt a real problem...apart from that, sound quality is brill, love the effects. Only other critisism is that the faders lack feel but this is something you quickly adjust to.......infact, so impressed, I have now bought more behringer stuff. (oh by the way, i owned a small pioneer before and this is far superior)
