Short Gig Log from 60TH Birthday Party in a Marquee BY John Lewis Disco Road Show

DJ business Stage 8: The DJ Business November 2017

Contents of the video

Alright ladies and gentlemen, we're in a marquee somewhere in the UK. It's a 60th birthday party. I have a gentleman that is going to be singing, playing guitar later on. I've got the Chauvet Trio. I was a little bit disappointed with one of those because I used it last, well I had two last week and one of them just stopped working. Literally stopped working. It wasn't the fuse so God knows. I've got the QSC rig, very reliable. I've got the K-series, K12s and a couple of the KW181s. I have the light console rig with, yes, the XDJ-RX. Possibly Pioneer's best ever controller. A bit old lappy over there. We have the screen. I have the projector behind the screen. I've got the scrims as well. And on this side here, I have from the Dear Departed cam.

A bunch more QSC and I've got the K8 there which is, I've got that just for Phil and during the early part of the evening I'm just going to have that on for background music. Another trio there and of course the stands and underneath each one of these what I'm going to do is put one of the self-powered Lights from Shoei, the Freedom Pass. They're IP rated as well. I think it's 6.7. No, I don't think it's 6.7 but you can definitely put them outside a little bit lower than that. You don't really want to drop them in the water. 6.7 I think is immersing in water. They're not 6.7. Got a cam smoke machine because I'm in a marquee. There are no smoke alarms so I can use a smoke machine. My God, what fun!

Big shout out to DJStans.com and I will be taking a few more pictures and video during the course of the evening and I will finish off with practice and enjoy. Thank you very much indeed. Nice one.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
