Usually a promoter, at the very least, will negotiate a deal with the venue, organise the right DJ's depending on the 'sound' you're after (a skill in itself) and then promote the event to get as many people in as possible. There's money to be made at that game, especially in Ibiza.Harry Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299538663895557942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-46991100470683958232010-11-19T09:47:26.960+00:002010-11-19T09:47:26.960+00:00Was it Billy's club, Manningham - funk upstair...Was it Billy's club, Manningham - funk upstairs, pub rock downstairs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-15102643318118565682010-11-18T22:34:07.003+00:002010-11-18T22:34:07.003+00:00I worked at a manual job with a 10-6 shift, which ...I worked at a manual job with a 10-6 shift, which meant I could hit bed at 3 am and still get 6 hours sleep before work. <br /><br />It helped that I lived in a town where my favourite clubs were free (I'm not talking town-centre glamour here, reggae and soul clubs in Manningham), Tetleys hand-pulled and curries very cheap - LTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-63357939715977487792010-11-18T15:27:45.466+00:002010-11-18T15:27:45.466+00:00Top choice of tune.

Is ...Top choice of tune.<br /><br />What is a club promoter?<br /><br />Is that one of those people who hand out tickets in the street at resorts?<br /><br />I bet that pays well.<br /><br /><i> It seems - and is - a long time ago that Laban was out clubbing five or six nights a week. </i><br /><br />5 or 6 nights a week?<br /><br />I used to think I was pushing the boat out if I was clubbing up to 2 - 3 times a week. <br /><br />You must have been a student, a drug dealer or a trustafarian. <br /><br />Or maybe this was a 2 week holiday in Spain or Greece - yeah, OK, in that instance this would be entirely reasonable.<br /><br />Its a bit difficult to any kind of job well when you're getting in at 3:30 in the morning and getting up again at 7am. Lack of sleep leads to cock ups which eventually leads to getting the sack.<br /><br />Its a sad story. On the two occasions I've returned from very much extended trips abroad, having been living it up, I have found adjusting back to the UK way of life fairly difficult. Depressing even. If you've made living it up abroad your life's work, it is easy to understand how it could end like this.Discotasticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-6813805549019885292010-11-18T05:47:15.126+00:002010-11-18T05:47:15.126+00:00"Mr Wilson said after Mr Logue's death he...<i>"Mr Wilson said after Mr Logue's death he had searched through several bags of clothing and discovered what were described as 'draft suicide notes'."</i><br /><br />I'm ashamed to admit that when I read this, my first thought was of that cartoon of 'Clippy', the MS Office Assistant, popping up to say 'You look like you're writing a suicide note! Would you like help with that?'JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.com
