I'm newly promoting and Djing at a small venue here in Wolverhampton and have basically lost money overall on the 3 events so far but have booked the venue for the whole of next year which I will honour because I totally and truly and allways have loved the music and so far I have enjoyed every minute of it and will continue till I make enough money to retire comfortabally or bankrupt myself , although I fear the latter will be first.
What people dont realise is you dont just turn up on the night , set up, pack up and go home , there is a lot more to it than that and you have to put a hell of a lot of work in the background and another thing is when you need their support you find out who you're real friends are.
