  1. There is a guy like that around these parts, he will turn up for a gig for £40 with his Fair Ground lights!!! A couple of times now i have quoted prices and bascially they have been silly prices - 1 asked if i would price match cause this guy had quoted £65 for a Saturday night - but as you can imagine i declined! What is the point of undercharging for your services? - it is totally beyond me
  2. Hi Guys/Gals Before i start this one is for the more Mature DJ on here!! - not wanting to discriminate!!!!!!! I have this fascination with Studio 54, saw a documentary about 10 years ago about it and been hooked since then, read and heard some compelling articles about this great club. ALso along the same lines the night club scenes in Saturday Night Fever, which leads me to my question, i was born in 1974 so missed the atmosphere these places promote - ie. Saturday Night Fever being fiction, were weekends really this good in Night Clubs and if so why are they not like it now -
  3. i ordered 2 on Wednesday evening - i Googled and they came up at £124 each, i ordered 2 of them and they did them for £245 inc free delivery and they were delivered at 1pm yesterday (Friday) i am well impressed!
  4. Well i have been cancelled at the last minute tonight so been surfing! I am looking to purchase a pair of powered speakers for when i am doing smaller venues - i have been out and about today and seen the Opera Series by DB Technologies. Do any of you guys/girls have any experiences with these - is there something out there more suitable. I only want them for small venues so they will be sitting in the garage probably half of the year so did not really want to spend out on Mackies Any help/advice would be very much appreciated. By the way i ordered 2 Acme ImpossibLEds of

  7. Hi Guys/Girls Sorry not been on for a while. Can anyone help me with the following - i did a party last night where it was requested 'can you do a couple of hours of good 90's dance' well i managed to pull it off has i can remember all of the tracks i used to play when i first got started - well i thought i did........ A girl came up and requested a track - it was a cover of Sly and the Family Stones - Family Affair, i can remember it but for the life of me cannot remember who sang it, it was a girl singing and then a black guy came in during the chorus, someone like MArk Morrison

  10. Just shows that apart from shops that advertise on Ebay - you do not know where half the goods for sale come from - are they hot or are they genuine. Not all people are has honest has they guys and girls on DJ United
  11. Hi Guys/Girls Been away from DJ's United for a few weeks, anyway, 1st December is that time of year again for renewing my Public LIability Insurance - just been quoted £102.90 by AXA, that is with 2 million pounds worth of cover - does that sound reasonable or should i have more cover than that - which companies do you guys use - if that is not a personal question. Sorry - have i missed UK hero's birthday?????? Thanks Chris
  12. I had the pleasure of being compere again to an excellant group - they were called Yesteryear who were a Tribute Group covering: Buddy Holly, Billy Fury, Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochrane - they absolutely awesome, 1 guy singing Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochrane and another doing Billy Fury and Buddy Holly, the bass guitarist was good and the drummer absolutely brill. The best thing about it was the guy doing Buddy Holly/Billy Fury was only 19 years old and he was excellant. I played before during and after as usual at The Saddlers Club, Walsall. The guys came over at the end and complemen
  13. Hi Guys/Girls A couple of the mirrors on my lights are looking a bit dull - so does anyone know where i can get replacement mirrors from? Cheers Mr P (Chris)
  14. After waiting with baited breath, been on the Tinternet just and there are several sites advertising the new Acme Dynatwin 250 - some of the sites saying they are not available until 30th July but can be pre-ordered ready. 3 different sites are offering them at £179.00 - so here goes, has anyone seen them advertised any cheaper? Cheers Mr P (Chris)

    Mastermix Cd's

    HI Guys/Girls Just wondered, do many of you buy the Mastermix albums (Released Monthly) I used to subscribe to them but found when they hit the double cd stage and jumped upto £20.00 per issue they started to repeat certain mixes on there and other mixes did not seem to meet the same style of music - hence i have not used them now or purchased for a couple of years. Thanks, i look forward to your replies Mr P (Chris)

    Blues

    Hi Just taken a booking for a 60th birthday, the guy has requested some Blues! - asked him what and he gave me the usual - 'You know some blues music' Any ideas what i can look towards apart from John Lee Hooker. Many thanks and regards Mr P (Chris)
  18. I would pack in the day job and DJ as and when i feel like it - i would buy more kit though. Mr P (Chris)
  19. Suppose only thing worse than not being thanked is reading about Manchester United fans writing on teletext pages - crying because Liverpool signed Torres and not them!!!! No seriously i think as long as you get paid what the heck - how many of us in our day jobs get thanked at the end of the day on the way home! Regards Mr P (Chris - Liverpool Fan)
  20. Worked last night, went to the bar - £1.90 for a small bottle of diet coke - daylight robbery - anyway away from that, it was a 70th birthday that went well until one of the little old dears came up and asked for some Max Bygraves - nearly as bad as 'have you got any rave mate' well i played some and they had a dance and the others were sat there clapping away and singing. Now the bit that really cheesed me off was at the end i had to finish for 11.30pm (Ring and Ride booked - only joking), i did not even get halfway through the last songs and what did they do - the Bar Manager turned all
  21. Hi Without checking, i am almost sure these 3 tracks are on the Mastermix Northern Soul Classic Cuts Number 34 cd. Thanks Mr P
  22. Hi Guys/Girls Just thought i would say Hi has i have not been on for a few days, had a bomb shell dropped on me last week, following my knee surgery in March i have been told i have a condition that affects the nerves etc called RSD, so i have been spending the last few days on the RSD website. THought i would get back on DJ United to try and take my mind of things and see how you are all doing and have been up to. Regards Mr P (Chris)
  23. As a WWE fan it is becoming an increasing factor - guys have been using steroids for many years but now with the wrestlers/athletes they are putting through there is need for more competition with the guys. Wrestling is a tragic entertainment at the end of the day - the way wrestlers end up - either crippled through injury, losing their lives to drugs (overdose/heart attacks) All of this to put smiles on peoples faces. When Eddie Guerrero passed away there was no mention in the press over here but has CHris Benoit allegedly killed his wife and child then himself it just highlights the fact
  24. I use a Behringer UCE - basically it goes through your USB port then a double phono lead from the mixer to the behringer. Brought it for £20.00 from Digital Village in Birmingham. Mr P (Chris) - Another Liverpool Fan
