Get 2 of my mates who are very good on the decks into night clubs to be given a try out

 

give out demo Cd's and phone numbers, and see club managers?

could work?

 

I have just e-mail a few pubs and clubs round my way but i doubt if i will get any feed back

 

Couple of my mates sent out demo cd's and got gigs so worth going that route I reckon

 

i wouldn't email, they should go and personally hand the Cd or speak to the club manager there self, it makes a good impression

 

Alll i put in the e-mail was that i had brothers who were very good and would it be possible to meet for a chat and maybe listen to what they can do

 

Highly unlikely that will work.

They need to get out there, speak to the manager / promotions etc, other DJ's etc. Mix tape's are a good idea yes.

What stuff do they play?

 

we have demo disks on hand,

They play classic speed garage and funky house , all the old school stuff

 

get on a pirate radio to get the name about to start with.

the clubs will follow. loads of djs on pirate stations in london end up in the big clubs.

 

Nice...but round this way old skool garage night's don't really happen, trust me, I play it myself

I know of a new weekly Garage night has started up in Cambridge, I was thinking of going to have a look for myself, but just wont have the time to play really

 

Pirate radio? - That's un heard of round this way...

I shall speak to them tonight

 

get on an agencies books



Muchos bookings and decent clubs too

 

do you or your mates know any dj's currently playing in your area ???
easy way in is to offer to do a 30 min warm up for em .. get your faces known around the area .. managers soon get to know you .. one tip though dont go in and be better than the current dj to start with .. no one likes a smart arse ...

once you have done a few go and take your demo to the managers personally and talk to them about what you can offer. go and see them when its quiet, try to make the demo disc to cover what the places are currently playing and make it a good mixture .. leave a contact number and answer the fone when it rings . and as dave said get on an agencies books ..

dont forget playing to a live audience is alot different to playing to a bedroom wall ...

 

they have alreay played in public before and the elder does a use to have a reqular slot in a local pub
