Cant agree with ya Kelly regarding Bar managers knowing the difference between what good and whats bad .
A few examples , i know of one venue paying a so called dj 80 euro for a 4 hour gig , probably a part timer who has a few Now cd's.
Monday night i was at a club and the dj was so bad , i promised id never bo too hard on myself again if i had a bad gig.
He was just throwing anythin on , no thought put into it, chopping tunes during a vocal, wouldnt shut the f**k up, slagged off tracks before he played them thinkin he was sooo fu**in cool and funny, and was generally appauling . If ya cant have a bit of respect for what your playing , then either dont play it or pi** off and get somebody who wont put himself before the music .
I know of a certain agent operating who's taking a cut of almost 100 euro off dj's for their gigs .
It's people like this who have dragged the industry down and are giving it a bad name . God knows how much the poor dj gets .
Then theres the guy who has genuine ability but cant get the gig he knows he'll be good at because people like the person mentoined above wont pay him what he's worth.
Basically it's becoming an amature buissiness , run by amatures employing amatures who dont really care about what there doing just as long as theres a few bob in it .
I became a dj because i love music .
