Possibly moving to Newcastle

[gezzy]

There is a possibility that I might be moving out to work with my day job.

It would be a shame to give up dj'ing after all these years and would love to know what things are like over there.

I currently specialise in weddings and general parties and also retro nights.

If things work out I'll be based up in Newcastle.

Can you guys give me an idea on rates etc. and if things work out does anyone fancy having a roadie for the night????

Cheers

Rates vary a lot with corporate djs. When I was doing it I was possibly the cheapest DJ in Australia, I'd only charge $100 an hour. I realised quickly I was screwing myself so I quit lol

Based on my knowledge… Average, cheapish rate seems to be $1,200 at the moment (in Western Australia). The average rate over all seems to be about $2,000 for a gig. I know people who charge up to $4,000 which I see as ridiculous.

If you plan on looking into an agency to get work, make sure you take a fair cut and they don't try pay you $70 an hour to do it
