some DJ's aren't like this and I know Andrew Weatherall will take a cut if he is into the night etc, so maybe try him Martin

Right, my point exactly. A crying shame. You're obviously someone who's into the music and is providing what looks like a nice little gig. What's to say that a big name jock wouldn't enjoy this gig more? He would be able to play a varied selection, would probably have a more 'educated' crowd up for something a bit different, and wouldn't have to play to 1000 gatecrasher kids ala Sankeys who just want the latest banging tech-house numbers - therefore making said dj miserable and looking like he's not enjoying it. >True but why make the punters suffer... Well, yeah, Why? It's been happening for years. As soon as the bigger clubs started booking these types of dj's (you know, after they were done with the Billy Nasty/Dave Clarke/Jeremy Healy types), then of course Joe Bloggs from detroit wants a few more quid in his pocket for doing it. If XXX at Cream is paying so much, why can't YYY at little underground club stump up something similar? It's completely fair enough from their point of view - if you're going to get on a plane and come and work here, you might as well get as much as you can I suppose. Doesn't help us music lovers though does it? I'm not blaming anyone, it just gives me the hump a little, and also helps to explain the downturn in clubs - they're just not interesting if the said dj is going to turn up and do things by numbers are they really?? rant over.
