i haven't played @ any clubs yet because i am not old enough to get into bars lol, i played a 3 hour set @ a school dance last year with about 300 people for a crowd so that pretty much got rid of any nevousness in front of people, the best part about it was that it was soo loud lol

[James Beaton]

Played in one or two bars in the past but i never classed them as proper gigs because they didn't feel like one.

Played my first proper live set October 6th just past, which was amazing!! There's a short video of me playing on my Bebo page if anyone's cares for a watch lol..... http://140BPM.bebo.com

i've been goin to ibiza with the family for years, even before i started DJing. I went out twice this year, and just spoke to some of the managers / promoters in the clubs and bars etc.

[tOM]

yeh i've played out quite a bit, (i clocked 52 times last year) i grew up playing on free party soundsystems in norfolk (frantic, psilocybertec etc), since then set up a club night in wales playing reggae called bass culture which ran pretty much monthly for 3 years. Then set up a techno nite with my mates nik the barber and the degator called medicine (our first guest being a certain mr fil devious) which ran pretty quietly for a few years then really took off last year and we have had guests such as: mobile dogwash, johnny sideways, alex calver, distek, a.p., zoid etc Also had a weekly residency at a reggae night called backbeating (when i could be assed to make it)

Also a resident on the phycosis soundsystem doing free parties across wales, have played free parties all over the country including huddersfield, norfolk, the midlands, teepee valley etc on various underground soundsystems.

Clubwise have played for cherry bomb in cardiff twice, compressed in rhyl twice (supporting jon conner and chris liberator) more small club nights than i can think of in west wales (including vibration therapy, symbiosis, electric vindaloo, delirium), playing various genres including reggae, breakbeat, techno and breakcore. And some bigger club nights including supporting grandmaster flash!!

Also played a few festivals this year and hope to play more next year

Having just moved to the north of england my dj schedule is now pretty empty, until i make the right contacts up here. However i have some plans up my sleeve for a night in leeds and there has been a little bit of discussion about building a soundsytem so watch this space

at first you get a bit nervous but as time goes by & you feel more confident it actually becomes a right buzz to get on them decks at a club & see people jumping around to your tunes
