The challenges facing DJs

  • A date is a whole evening

    There are not two on the same Saturday. A cancellation in June is a peak-season Saturday gone.

  • Enquiries arrive a year ahead

    And you have to be able to say yes straight away, without checking three diaries.

  • The playlist and the key moments

    Entrance, first dance, speeches. Collected on the phone, half written down, forgotten on the day.

  • The kit depends on the venue

    Two speakers or four, a booth or not. It depends on the room, and the room gets confirmed late.

Practical guide: DJs

  1. One service per format: corporate party, wedding, birthday. They share neither duration nor price.
  2. Open the booking horizon to eighteen months: weddings get booked a long way ahead.
  3. A "venue, room size, timings" field at booking: the quote gets done without an exchange.
  4. A deposit at booking. Without one, a held date is not a sold date.
  5. A free-text field for the playlist and the key moments, filled in by the client when they think of it.

What music licences does a UK DJ need?

Two layers, and DJs regularly get the second wrong. Playing music in public requires TheMusicLicence, combining PRS for Music and PPL — but that is normally held by the venue or the event organiser, not by you, so check in your contract who carries it, because at a private house party in a hired hall the answer is often nobody. The one that is yours is copying: transferring tracks you own onto a laptop or USB for performance is a restricted act, and the ProDub licence from PPL PRS is what makes it lawful for professional DJs. Streaming services' consumer terms do not permit commercial use, so a Spotify account is not a set. Add public liability insurance and PAT testing of your equipment, both of which venues ask to see.
