Hi there, Be great to see you, obviously, we're all hoping the weather is going to be ok, as this is another cracking line up. Anyway, the venue itself is a hotel and there is actually a travelodge just next door (attached to the Malta Inn) Maidstone is actually really well served with hotels, so you should be ok on that one. Any other questions, please just shout. Cheers, Paul Forsyth SEDA - Chairman

Thanks for the Edit Tony And well spotted Ben, thanks for the well wishes too. Stop Press! Unfortunately, due to other commitments and staffing problems Numark are now unable to attend the SEDA ShowNight. The UK Sales Manager was both apologetic and disappointed at letting SEDA down at such short notice and has promised to attend in the near future. However David and the team from Allied Sound & Light will have Numark product available on the night and may be able to get anything that you wish to purchase in for you!! Every cloud and all that!

I have a set of the KAM 1940 radio mics and find them very good, however I did find that occasionally i did get blind spots and therefore embarrassing drop out. I still use the KAMs for occassional Karaoke, but for speeches I have invested in a Shure UHF dual diversity radio mic (the KAMs are UHF but single diversity) - The Shure is a great sound and never had any drop out........... but the price is way over your budget new, not sure what you could pick a second hand system up for though.

Congratulations guys Paul

More ShowNight Details!! First UK Outing For New Denon Product It has been confirmed that the DNS 3700 and the DNX 1100 will be making their first UK appearances at SEDA ShowNight this Sunday 15th March 2009! Gary Job has also promised some “hot news” on “special pricing” from Denon!!!!

Been mulling this one and reading and re-reading before voting. I agree that DJ X'x surcharge does stick in the throat a bit but, as has already been said, this DJ does come with all the boxes ticked. DJ Y's practice (in other threads) seems to be on that alot of us do berate and condem, yet appear in this thread to be willing to financially support and reward????? Really not here to preach, but personally my take on this is it's my problem and if I have to be out of pocket, so be it. Hopefully the client will be very happy, and my reputation will be upheld. Maybe thr

To my knowledge there were (are) only two versions 4ish mins & 8 ish mins. The original single was released with Pt 1 on the A side and Pt 2 on the B side so I guess you could say that both versions charted. Cheers.

Hi, I think some of the above comments are kind of touching on one key fact - it's probably more important to find out about any songs not to play than songs to play. Keep in your mind that this is a celebration and treat it as such. I havn't played a wake before but have played an anniversary celebration of someones life five years on, maybe the loss is not so raw, but there were some very touching speeches, but also a very upbeat feel to the whole event. Good luck, and do let us know how you get on.

Hi Nik, Firstly, top man for doing it!!! Secondly, my immediate thoughts are that quite a few wil be looking at the more attractive club dj work, so maybe some research on how to approach clubs, making a mix demo, local (if there are any) college courses that run djing as part of a music course. Just an initial thought. Good luck mate.

Not sure - I guess NADJ possibly will have something going on - might be worth checking their website out. Unfortunately we are a regional association. That said we do have a new member based in Leeds, although I don't think he'll be getting to many ShowNights lol. Cheers,

Hi all, The first ShowNight of 2009 is looking to be another great night!!!!!

Ok I know you said one, but either Curtis Mayfield - Move on up or Pasadenas - Tribute (Right On)

I agree with the point that moat are not interested in detailed information about the equipment used and whilst I ticked the not bothered box on lighting, it would be more truthful to say that most of my clients rely on my judgement with regards to lighting and mix of music which would include their playlist, guest requests and my input. Most of my clients are looking for a DJ that they can trust to do the job and give them peace of mind so that they can have a worry free event. That said I do take all of their requirements on board and do also have clients that do have a very strong

I would probably increase my prices - especially on venues that had difficult access and see how that was received initially and then possibly roll that out across the board. I guess I would like to find my optimum price that would be accepted and sometimes the only way to do that is to push the price until you hit a barrier. That said I am being very careful on any increase this year.

The 101 series is fantastic value for money at around the £5 mark available from HMV & some supermarkets!!!!

maybe a bit obscure but, Chinese Rocks - Heartbreakers Gloria - Pattis Smith Blank Generation - Richard Hell And The Voidoids Rip Her To Shreds - Blondie Saturday Night In The City Of The Dead - Ultravox Safety Pin Stuck In My Heart - Patrick Fitzgerald Oh Bondage Up Yours - X-Ray Spex Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury And one I that got requested on 23rd at a 50th Birthday party................. Jilted John - Jilted John Oh the memories - lol

Good to see you back guys!!!!
