did my first gig last night and it went well, althou i was told there was going to be around 100 people and there was 30 if your lucky! was a good night though and i enjoyed every second, apart from having to back homa as fast as the van could take me as i forgot the lighting poles but otherwise all in all was good. cant wait for the next one now!

Great stuff mate, glad to hear it went ok.

Well done on your first , 30 out of 100 , thats not to bad , seems to be the norm at certain events.

daryll

Well done.........dont get disheartened we all get jobs like that


Thats excellent news, being positive rubs off on the customers and can really turn gigs around

We are all guilty of forgetting something from simple lap top stands to amplifiers

Best wishes for the future

They'll get even better over time,

Well Done,
John

cheers people for the positive replys. just need that phone to start ringing now. that job last night was for a friend. the person who owned the sports centre has had my number as she was impressd! i was shocked! my first gig and shes has loads of djs there and she wanted my number. was quite taken back so hopefully i will get sum business out of that. so all in all going good so far

Well done, getting the first one under your belt is a fantastic feeling.
Once you are working regularly you'll find everything a lot easier.
If I have a break of a weekend or two I always have to triple check that everything's packed and ready to go - on Saturday I had to pull over half way to the show to check I had my speaker cables (they were there).
Cheers

yeh i agree paul it is a great feeling, were does the time go thou!it seem to go so quick. and yeh i think next time i will look down the gap between the wardrobe (thats were the poles wer hiding) everything else is in big plastic storage containers so i cant realy forget anything. such a rush thou and cant wait to do it again

Are you sure she wanted your number for gigs.....Lol

Good to hear you've got your first gig under your belt. It's good init!!

I always try to move my gear close to the door first, check it's all there and then load up!
Didn't stop me leaving my speaker stands behind at a venue a few weeks back though!!!

ha ha i hope so, shes not my type. shame it wasnt the other bar maid

Its like losing your virginity!!

You have mastered your EQUIPMENT!!

You have made sure everyone else involved enjoyed it.

You have a wonderful warm feeling when its done.

AND its something you will never ever forget and will keep you warm in your darkest hour.

I just made that up!!!!!!!

yeh think i will be doing a checklist next time ha ha



exbutlinred82 that is excellent lmao, got it down to a tee

I've found that what ever event is , what the total number expected is you can knock of 30%..

Well done buddy,
