[Closed] So if you could book somebody to DJ at a bike race who would it be?

I know some London DJ's, some have actually been north of the M25 too.. They might not play what you want them too tho'..

What you after??

Craig Charles. He just sent me his email address. 😀

The Chemical Brothers........might be a bit pricey though.

OMG! Am I gonna be tempted to dance instead of race?! Intrigued...
I'd say David Guetta! Is it? Is it? Is it?...... 😉

Craig Charles? Hmmmm....
Cool! 😀

Andrew Weatherall doing his pub set please.

Somebody rather good, someone folk may have heard of if they are into the scene will cost you upwards of £1.5k to £3k+ for a 2hr set, someone pretty much everyone will have heard of will cost you upwards of £5k to £8k++ for a 2 hr set.

Mark Green Disco and Karaoke as highly recommended a while ago.... 😉

Craig is a good laugh and a massive musico with extensive knowledge of funk n' soul', he played the closing of the main stage at the Wickerman festival back in 2011 then came along to our Dance music tents afterwards - He' will not be cheap, but his collection is rather good.

Stephen Morris - or give a drum kit. I'd be happy listening to him for 2hrs

Andrew Weatherall doing his pub set please.

Or back-to-back with Ivan Smagghe.

Someone like Dixon, Ame or Jef K for some housey vibes.

I'd have some old skool DJ's like Slipmatt or Ellis Dee, but my music taste is still back in 1992-95.

The glory years as my mate calls them.

EDIT: My mate knows some old skool DJ's (such as the above) so can get details if your interested.

He' will not be cheap, but his collection is rather good.

Charlty bike race at 10:00am in a muddy Manchester field in February.

I'd hope he'd do it for a brew, shout AWOOGA and help us raise a few quid.

Above and Beyond.

Either Jimmy Young or Yer Man Wogan.
'Whats the recipe today, Jim?'

DLT ?

Andrew Weatherall (or rather his booking agent caroline fae spun-out) would expect £6K for a 2hr set, plus expenses which would run to another £500.

They're (DJ's) not cheap, but for someone of weatheralls standing it's worth it.

i know that there are djs on here. thought of asking them ?

Or back-to-back with Ivan Smagghe.

Could get very very messy.

 

Whilst on a school reunion (after far too many glasses of sherry I hasten to add) we discovered (aka internet stalking /google searches)one of our school chums is a mad for it, banging tunes, massive DJ. Which is highly amusing, 'cos I would never ever have thought he'd have become anything but an accountant. He is still working, big nights out in large venues, pretty high up the flier pecking order. Saw a video of him on youtube. At first thought it was a smashey and nicey house dj piddle take. But no. For real!

If it's a charity event and one he can sympathise with/support, and you can guarantee a big and very enthusiastic crowd, and he's not doing anything else (which is a long shot) you may have a teeny chance - especially if you could show positive publicity for him regarding press coverage.

What have you got to lose?, you don't get if you don't ask 😀 .

I sent him a cheeky tweet and a link to the HTN site and he sent me his email address.

I'm surprised no-one has said dress up in a red tracksuit wi a white wig n' gold medallions, that'd fix it for you?

what if we all promised to come with a "H" on our forehead?
(yeah I know he was Lister but I'm bald so dreads are out of the question!)

You're halfway there Harry...blag....blag,...blag, then try and blag some more before getting the cash out, mention to him Kenny fae the Wickerman festival bass camp dance tents say's Awoooga,

😀

@[i]somafunk[/i], you seem to be in the know, do you work at Soma records? Perhaps you have some contacts that would help?

(yeah I know he was Lister but I'm bald so dreads are out of the question!)

Yeah! Now you are talking 🙂

Save your cash and just play some decent tunes. IMO like.

Pat Sharpe.

The last bike race I went to that had a Dj playing, had some bloke called Zak tempest? Anyone heard what happend to him. Or vaguely remember a Jesus jones dj set at malverns one year. That was a good night!

Ken Bruce. You could have Popmaster half way round.

Ben Klock

That should get them going 🙂

Well which DJ's have a base up north?

If an iPod playlist through the PA isn't adequate (you did say it's a race, not a rave) why not get a local band that does decent covers? That way you get people who actually play instruments instead of a bloke with a big ego swapping CDs.

Scooter surely

This.
