The Karaoke Forum

She would leave we would turn it up the bartenders would tell us to turn it up more then the other bar owner would come in and tell us it is too loud so we would t...

I stopped in one night at one of the bars we play at to drop off some posters and was surprised to see they had karaoke that night and it was about the same a couple who own a pawn shop took the mix matched speakers/quitar amps and combined them for what sounded like the old am radio mounted on the ...

I just had a call from a new client that wants me to do the advertising. I just told them i would but it was going to cost them and we discussed how much and what kind of advertising. They want me to do some radio and some news paper which is fine. I already work with both so i get a better deal wit...

If i am going to do any amount of advertising for the bar they will have to pay for it or i will have to raise my rates even more which would not go over very well in these parts we just raised rates due to the price of gas. But all the KJ's around here did it. And None of the other KJ's around here...

the way i look at is if the bar or whatever wants a crowd they can do whatever they like i will not really help. I will give them a poster i made up and they can fill in the blanks make photo copies. If it is a benifit thing i will advertise a little more myself or with they owner. Other than that i...

i agree with dan about a fair rotation but it seems there is always one person or group nthat thinks it is not fair i have a policy sheet in the gront of every book that explains how we come up with the rotation that we do some of the complaints are about songs that have already been sang some about...

I bought some cheap wireless mic AudioTechna sp? which I have been very happy with I am getting ready to get rid of my wired mic because you never know when someone is going to trip on them and it seems at least once a night some one is swinging the mic by the cord which is hard on cords.

One Thing I did that helped me is made my regular bars owners realize what they were getting with the raise in our rates we raised our price 20 dollars an hour or 80 a night but with that i brought in new lights and new additions to our book which we were planning to do anyway They said they could s...
