I asked in the local pub if i could do a Friday night for Free, they paid me £80 and free pints all night - that turned into Fri Sat Sun every week at £150 a night.
Went to a local club last night here in boston and talked to the bartender who referred me to the promoter, i ended up talking to him for a while and got invited to a private event in a few days, thanks for all the advice!
I have not played in 15 years, my company is holding a retreat in Sicily, we are booking an entire resort for about 1000 employees most of which I know and they are all EDM and house music fans. I landed the main stage set, two of them, three sets all together playing deep and tech house. I've always been good at selecting the tracks, I've been DJing, learned on vinyl on 1994 when I was 15 years old and I often played at clubs at 17 years old that I couldn't get into. I went on to be a resident at one of the biggest clubs in Orlando, but in 2007 I hung it up for a tech career. This retreat is a proper festival with a headlining act I can't disclose, but I'm a bit nervous just because it's been so long, but I've been practicing on similar pioneer gear for weeks, it's all about the practice. Not my first gig, but my first in 15 years and it will be in front of at least 500 of not nearly 100 people max. I'm so eager!
