ROADIE NEEDED

wanted – roadie to occasionally load in speakers/lighting equipment to venues around the nottingham area.

ideal candidate will be:

trustworthy (and if possible, someone i know already!)
reliable. turn up early or on time every time or i’m not interested!
in the central notts (ideally sherwood) area
have a full driving licence
have their own car (the larger the better!)
be able to easily carry a PA system and lighting equipment into venues (sometime upstairs)

work would mostly be on fridays and saturdays with occasional weeknight work, and involve pickup of the kit from sherwood and loading into venues (usaully) no more than 30 minutes drive from nottingham city centre. this would usually be sometime between 5pm and 7pm) – after load in is complete, they would then be free to go home to do whatever they like until later in the evening – turn up at the end of the night (usually 12am, sometimes 1am. not very often it is later) and transport the kit back to sherwood.

on occasion you may be required to store that kit overnight at your own house for drop off in sherwood the next day, or possibly on occasion, the kit can be picked up from the venue the next morning (usally between 9am and 12noon, depending on the venue and what is arranged in advance)

basically, flexibility is needed!

if you dont have a large car, then we could always load it in mine (with some of the kit in yours should it not all fit in mine)

in return, you get….

paid! its not great money, but it will more than cover expenses and your time. this would be dependant on the amount of kit and time involved, and would be discussed should you be interested in the role!

and if you are interested, you can learn the ropes, how to set up all of the equipment, and how to DJ!… if you progress to a suitable level, you could provide cover for work i turn down due to already being booked, or do occasional club work (a couple of hours at the rescue rooms, or if i’m on holiday, maybe the full night!). who knows? if you do well enough, you could always start taking on gigs of your own so nottsdj.co.uk could expand!

right now, this is likely to be maybe a couple of hours once or twice a month, but could end up being a lot more regular in future as the businaees grows and bigger gigs start coming in.

Now with added spotify goodness!

mmmha! red room @rescuerooms – 9th apr 2011 setlist – http://open.spotify.com/user/spazhammer/playlist/46rSHRpKUWhQwnUCewZ0AA

I’ve been thinking for a while about making my own starcloth. partly because i’m trying to save money, partly because i wanted one a different size to the standard (i wanted it to work on my deckstand – currently got the 1.7m ultimax, but want to get the 1.2m middle sections for use at smaller gigs) as well as on the massive table at my main residency.

so i ordered a couple of sets of LED lights from ebay (£13 for 2x 10m sets) and went to the market in our local shopping centre to have a look for some material.

in the end, i went for 4 metres of black material a bit like my smart work trousers, it wasnt too thick, but it was thick enough to completely hide all the cabling inside. cost me £4 per metre (so £16)

the plan was to cut small holes, poke the LED through then cover the led in hot glue to attach it to the back of the cloth. one set of lights per “side”, then fold it in half and use velcro to attach the two sides together.

i got a set of white LEDs and a set of multicoloured LEDs. both controlled by a button press on a box at the end of the cable run (each press cycles it through a set of 8 preset patterns).

ingredients:
1x10m white LEDs (£6.50)
1x10m multicolour LEDs (£6.50)
4m black cloth (£16)
strips of stick backed velcro (not bought this yet)

tools
hot glue gun (already owned, but cost about £6)
3 packs of glue sticks (£6)
pair of sharp scissors

so far it has cost me £35 for a double-sided 2m length starcloth that can be opened out to a single sided 4m one (albeit one half white, one multicoloured)

the material (side 1) with the LEDs laid out on top

one of the LEDs attached to the back with hot glue

one of the LEDs that have been glued down poking through the other side

a few of the glued LEDs

after the first half is completed and the lights turned out

and here it is in action cycling through the various patterns…

(it is on the table, so doesnt show the full length – i’ll be properly road-testing it this weekend)

tonight (hopefully), i will be mostly attaching the second set of LEDs and getting some velcro to stick it all together.

future plans include wiring the two sets together to use one control box with a switch on to select which is in use (or both) all powered from one mains socket. also i want to get the edges sewn up neater and some way of attaching it to things (belt loops round the top or something

UPDATE – DAY 2.

ok, didnt get much time last night to work on it, so only managed to finish off the first set of lights.

sorry for the piss-poor photos, damned phone doesnt have a flash.

front of side 1

and the back. all lights glued in, with the links between each light glued down to make it a bit more secure and robust

front of side 1 in action when laid out on the sofa

off out tonight, so not likely to be doing anything with it, but hopefully will do some more on friday/saturday before i get to use it. at the very least, ill attach the velcro to make it nice and neat when doubled over. should hopefully be getting some decent photos of my whole rig for my new website this weekend.

and heres the second set of lights ready to go in (these ones are multicolour instead of plain white)
