Spin you have more light screens there than the Waltzers at my local Fair LOL ...

What size of van, truck, 18 wheeler are you using ??

I suppose I'll have to take the box brownie on the road with me

To be honest Ninelives the whole lot fits in a 8 x 5 Tow a Van but that was a 2.5 hr set up!

Its a killer of a show I do once a year for East of England Schoolboy Scramble Club

Spindoctor that is a big 1 Big One.
how big is it in foot


lol

I think he said it was a 40 foot stage!!. At least Mrs Spin doesn't have to buy any Xmas decorations!!.

here in ellesmere port (not that far from chris) i have seen alot of disco's with light screens, But they look to be pasted it. Can u still buy them and do other people use them.
What about people who have there name and number on alight screen what r ur vews.

Yes, I know Ellesmere Port Well

There is a topic on lightboxes [BROKEN LINK]

Opps! Guess I should have switched a few lights on before taking the photo of my set up.

I'll post a picture of the set up from the DJ "point of view" (DB boulevard anyone?) in a little while...that'll scare that begeezus outta some of you...if only for the lack of dusting!

It's the cheapest form of advertising!

I think it's ok - saves giving out cards if you display your contact number.

Many bands (look at the Beatles) put their name on the drums, etc.

And why not!

Who were the Beatles then? Were they big in your day? LOL

I'm predicting a silly mood coming on.....keep it up!

I don't like the ida of blanant advertising on your light boxes, as most of the time, especially when you have been around a while, you are actually working for the hotel, and as such I act and present myself as a member of staff, not a DJ who works here and there, I don't know your views and would be interested to hear them, but like I say I act as if I am a member of staff behind the DJ lights, unless it is a gig that I know the people who have booked me.

Thats ok if you have plenty of work, are happy to work in the one place, or it is the hotel policy (which happens)

I personally think any advertising is good advertising as otherwise you will be playing the same place forever!

You only have to look at product names on the equipment we buy - to realise advertising DOES work.

It's still a matter of opinion - we've all done it. Looked at the name on the product and decided to buy or not.

Take Skoda (please - the jokes are all thin and worn out!!!!) they seem to have turned around!

Look at the early 90's - Kenwood and Pioneer were the 'quality name' goods to buy.
But was Philips products all bad? Was Technics better as a name than B & O?
Doesn't matter - we recognise the name, logo or brandname - instantly. Millions are poured into slogan and logo advertising to get our attention.

What's the product - "A mint..."?

ok, what's the product......"A mint with a hole"?

So, unless you are a resident for an exclusive venue - and then you may only want your name to be known, why not advertise on the disco gear?
GO ON -SPLASH IT ON!!!!

Another Roadshow Picture Added Today - Mikeeee's!.

Email your Roadshow Pictures to me for this section, or your photo for the Hall of Shame!

But why has he got a chamber pot hanging from each end of his bar, or does he move so slowly nowadays that they plant them with Petunia's in season???

I must sort out some piccies, with the lights on.

That particular was take at a resuarant in Dulwich Village.

The Chamber Pots are Chauvet "Bobs" and there are pairs of, Twister 4's, Chamleon 3's, and Chauvet Abyss's.

The Audio in that set up is CD Player's (always find them useful) Citronic 450 Mixer, C-Audio RA 3000 amp and a pair of Carlsbro Beta 115's.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of a pair of Beta 115's (300w) not the new 400w ones and or the original 300w bass cab's, I could be interested.

Why not record a few minutes of your roadshow on a camcorder and later capture the images you want on your PC.

Roadshow pictures updated

Where's my pic's I sent you Chris??

I was going to find a picture until I saw all the roadshows together. Quite an impressive (expensive) set of photo's.
I am going to have to work on mine and spend some more cash if all roadshows look like that

For pics of my rig see www.jddiscos.co.uk/gallery.htm , see what you think, comments and advice would be gr8 oh and if you wanna see pics of my concert rig check out This site

The lighting stands most of you are using, is that a goalpost system? or are they the type with built in kind of stand and g/p system?
The reason I ask is because I want to purchase a new Operating area so to speak, but has to be very compact for travel. I am looking at a workspace of about 6ft across for my amps mixer, effects etc, also to rig about 10 lights on, from twisters to scanners.
Also, does anyone know where I can find someone who can paint or print with UV Paint? I want a taylor made canvas at the front which is uv reactive, makes a change from light screens.

Thanks Chris, any suggestions for reasonably priced uv paint suppliers?
