The dj should attend the venue before accepting/asking for a booking...
Sum good points made here !
But this one Hmm ok , lets drive a fare distance say 100 miles ( modest)
To see ile wanna DJ here for a modest fee of £30,£40 to a small but advised up an cumin soulnite
On arrival and hours spent to check the place if its to my liking and aint!
Wot then?
IMO the onus shud not be down to the DJ to do the homework... the promoter/event manager is the one to seek out the entertainment. And its his or her responsibility and these skills can be a nightmare I'm sure !!
Wudnt do it for a gold clock
