So after a slew of unpaid house parties, 1 school disco, and a battle of the bands DJ set, I'm now getting approached to do gigs, and I'm going to start asking for payment (the recession is hitting us all hard, and mothers day is coming up...)
Problem is, the school I go to is offering a bunch of kids to go on special learning courses in other countries. These courses require a biiig amount of funding and discos seem to be the way these kids are wanting to make their money.
So the parties are sort of for charity, and to top it off these are my acquaintances and school friends.
What would be an acceptable amount of money to ask for, if I'm going to be doing a 2 hour set on a already hired PA system?
And what about if I don't know the people, and it's not for a charitable cause of any sort?
Really I just need tips on how much money to demand for a DJ set.
Cheers guys!
