I play on average beteen 200 to 300 a year and have been doing so pretty solid for about 20 odd years now, so that's about 5000 gigs so far give or take.

Would be interesting to see how much peeps play? I also include parties so that more people can get involved. Not just you club guys. It's all good experience in the end even if the experience wasn't good.

Let me have it folks.

Cheers
Nem

Do you have a day job or can you survive on the proceeds from your gigs alone?

I used to be full time DJ, even when I first started on the boards here. But since the Ass fell out of the DJ industry i.e. it became so saturated with DJs it became hard to live off it. I used to have a good life from it.

Times have changed and I have also become a daddy recently so priorities have changed somewhat. So in answer to your question, I ended up having to get a day job about 3 years ago.

I average 1 or 2 gigs a month, but I'm got getting paid much for it. Right now I'm mixing for the fun of it (and free drinks help )

At one point i was doing 6 nights (yes nights- not just 1 or 2 hour slots) a week... happy days.

nowadays much more relaxed!
Agree totally about market saturation...killed it totally...

How on earth do you play fresh stuff 6 night out of the week?

It's really hard to say. This weekend alone I have 5 gigs, one last night, one tonight, three tomorrow. They're all paid gigs too.

However, last week I only had two gigs. Get my point? Gigs go up and down. But easily 100+ a year. But there's no 100+ option on the survey.

6 different cities... the uk is a small place!

ive been averaging about 25 a year since 2004 but im hoping that 2008 will be a killer year.
