Send me a list of specific tunes you are missing (off list) and I=20
will let you know. I gave up because by 1991 the music just wasnt as=20
much fun. That and the fact that when I did my accounts for the year=20
I was amazed to find that my hobby earnt me =A34500.

I was absolutely horrified when I learnt that the running of the van,=20
purchase of records etc had cost me =A34350. Based on the 150 nights I=20
had worked that cave a total income of ONE POUND per NIGHT :-(

So I gave up DJing and concentrated on fixing other peoples gear. Had=20
I been able to say to people "Yes, its =A350 for the disco and =A330
for=20
the records I've had to buy this week" I might have been able to=20
money but it just wasnt viable. Couldnt put the charges up because=20
there were too many people undercutting already.

Sadly the nightclub buisiness in Great Yarmouth is dead. All the=20
venues that I used to look after (I only handle 2 of them now) have=20
been in dire need of refits for at least 5 years, some much more.

I stick to new stuff now like KAT5 :-)
