    tricky one. if u get a reputation for putting on a good party, after a while u get a big regular crowd in each month whoever is playing. if u get on a superstar dj-booking tip, u can pack em in if u get the booking+promo right or u can bomb if it goes wrong. when it goes right tho... awesome

    but bombing on a 400quid budget is different to bombing on a 2 grand budget...

    end of the day, people will go to what they think will be a good nite. if youve done the groundwork and put on a run of smallish, low-budget, wicked nites with great local/cheap djs, you dont need to go and book mills or dave clarke and risk a crapload of money on a bunch of fickle punters.

    i reckon leave the big'uns to the promoters with cash to burn unless ur certain ur on a winner. or got cash to burn.

    all about the grass roots maaan ;)
