Your first BIG night Mr / Mrs DJ, How should you feel?

DJ business Stage 8: The DJ Business November 2007

Contents of the video

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Now this video is going out to Bevboys, okay? This chap's been a bedroom DJ for ages and all of a sudden now this chap's got a night in a real nightclub in the Buttermarket in Shrewsbury in England, United Kingdom. Now then, he's asked me for a bit of advice. What advice can I give this particular person for their first night? Simply this, if you're anxious, if you're a bit concerned and a bit worried about the night... Brilliant, that is good because it means everything is heightened. All of your senses are heightened and you will be more alert and you will concentrate on the job at hand. Every single gig I do, I've been DJing for a long time, I am nervous before every single gig. It basically means my mind is concentrated on the job and nothing else. So to everyone else out there, if it's your first night, your second, third, fifth, twentieth night...

100th night, it doesn't matter. It's good to be nervous, believe me, trust me, alright? Thanks for watching, Bevboys, this one's for you and everybody else, alright? Practice and enjoy!
