    I'd be of the opinion that 180 is pretty good, if it's all inclusive. You probably could get better if you had time to shop around

    your talking nearly 8 hours including travel, setting up, setting down which works out at just over 20 quid an hour which isn't bad considering the DJ is working weekend and into the early hours of the morning. 180 is a fair price in my humble opinion

    €180 is very good in my opinion. But then again, I don't charge. I just ask people to pay me what they think is fair based on the night. It works and I get alot of business.

    On a side note, how much could you ask per hour to do a gig in a club? Or how much could you expect to get? Not resident or anything, just a warm up act or something.

    180 is cheap, mobiles and partys are normally €250 up, Normally most clubs and depends on location €150 up , but thats for a full night
