Shsdave Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Support Nights that you don't DJ at??? Just wondering is all. Tony Well I certainly do but there are those who certainly don't.............or possibly turn up at something like the 100 club anniversary, do their once a year thing & it's goodbye till next year
Guest gordon russell Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 ha ha ....thats a laugh.......most dj,s (mainly soulnite,but not exclusively)....only go to their own venue and any tinpot place that asks em as long as they're djing.Their motto has always been......IF I AIN,T DJING,I AIN,T GOING........sad thing is their actual spots are the most boring and dreary unimaginative coma inducing stuff you could imagine.........
Dave Rimmer Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Always. I DJ around fifty times a year usually, but if I'm not DJing somewhere, I'm out just enjoying myself.
Little-stevie Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 no point with this question... them other lot won't post will they
Straight Up Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Support Nights that you don't DJ at??? Just wondering is all. Tony Always, out somewhere every week, DJing or not. Life would'nt half be boring otherwise.
Tim Smithers Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 ha ha ....thats a laugh.......most dj,s (mainly soulnite,but not exclusively)....only go to their own venue and any tinpot place that asks em as long as they're djing.Their motto has always been......IF I AIN,T DJING,I AIN,T GOING........sad thing is their actual spots are the most boring and dreary unimaginative coma inducing stuff you could imagine......... To true so many djs out there filling the floor with the same old tripe, no amagantion whatsoever
Guest Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Support Nights that you don't DJ at??? Just wondering is all. Tony Of course . I rarely stand behind the decks these days ( the last time was at The 2009 Torch Reunion ) , so I am usually now at a night as a punter . I always found when i was regularly DJing , that showing your face at venues enhanced your credibility , and placed you in the shop window to be asked to DJ at that , or other venues .

Guest dundeedavie Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 if there is something worth going to ....of course
Dave Thorley Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Out most weekends at venues I like going to or look interesting, if I get asked to DJ I see that as a bonus

As the other fella said you obviously don,t observe these things....there are dj,s where l live who also run events.......who NEVER attend any other local venue at all let alone further afield and that is mirrored right across the country......How many times have you read on this site "Looking forward to djing at your venue tonight".The said venue being open for lets say more than a year,but the said dj has not been even once as a soul loving fan for a dance and a chat at that venue.There are loads of em...T

jocko Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Surely a more interesting question is if you didn't dj would you bother going out again, Or if you do dj and you do go out do you go anywhere other than where there is a potential crowd for your own do or a potential spot?? Just a few more thoughts to help this lively debate along! Edited February 15, 2010 by jocko

Just a few more thoughts to help this lively debate along! Seeing as I started it............. I go to places that I know are gonna play off the worn out groove, to hear stuff that ain't hammered to death and is fresh to my ears. Should I be (ever) asked to play for them, it is both an honour and a bonus. Regards Tony
Guest gordon russell Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Or if you do dj and you do go out do you go anywhere other than where there is a potential crowd for your own do or a potential spot?? Now theres a point....seen it so many times you're at a venue and person arrives (known to dj or play some plastic randomly lol) stays the night,next time it,s on they come again.......thereafter if they haven,t been asked to dj........YOU NEVER SEE EM THERE AGAIN......whats funny they never think the rest of us know their little game.....laugh l nearly bought a round
Phild Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Yes. I rarely DJ anywhere apart from my own infrequent nights these days, and do enjoy going out and about. Though I don't go out as much as I used to. Phil
Guest dundeedavie Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Now theres a point....seen it so many times you're at a venue and person arrives (known to dj or play some plastic randomly lol) stays the night,next time it,s on they come again.......thereafter if they haven,t been asked to dj........YOU NEVER SEE EM THERE AGAIN......whats funny they never think the rest of us know their little game.....laugh l nearly bought a round but then how many times have you seen the plan work? more often than not in my experience . also , do promoters go to other venues because they are interested, or just to flyer it?
Phild Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Being totally honest, I only go to certain venues to flyer for my own event. And to others to hear great music and have a good time. I've been to some great events recently though with brill tunes. Phil Edited February 15, 2010 by phild
Guest gordon russell Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 how about ......you go to a venue and see flyers for another venue less than an hour away, but the promoter of the other venue never attends the venue he sends his flyers up with a mate.....now thats a real piss take
soulsalmon Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 how about ......you go to a venue and see flyers for another venue less than an hour away, but the promoter of the other venue never attends the venue he sends his flyers up with a mate.....now thats a real piss take stop mincing tez,get to the point
Guest dundeedavie Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Ok then here's another one ... Do you go to a venue just to support it , or do you need it to be good for you musically ?
Guest gordon russell Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Ok then here's another one ... Do you go to a venue just to support it , or do you need it to be good for you musically ? well of course the music has to be up your street......you can,t just support a do coz it,s near ya....but the promoter has to be an honest injun
Guest JIM BARRY Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Ok then here's another one ... Do you go to a venue just to support it , or do you need it to be good for you musically ? I GO TO A VENUE TO SUPPORT IT IF A MATE IS DJING KNOWING THE MUSIC WILL BE GOOD..... AND TO OTHER VENUES SIMPLY FOR THE MUSIC IF ITS NOT JUST OLDIES.

Matt Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I Try to get to as many venues as possible whether DJing or not- enjoy the whole social event. Always good to hear what other people are playing out. Can't dance as much the older I'm getting- end up talking more! You can enjoy nites in different ways. Better always than staying in!
