Can anyone give advice on writing a letter/message asking for DJing spot/residency?
Hey guy, how's everyone?

If you haven't guessed already, the title basically says it all.
A new club is in the build at the moment in my local town, well it's being rebuilt, taking the position of a previous club which closed down towards the start of the year. The new club is promoting itself (or so to speak) on Facebook and as there is no e-mail or contact details the only means of contact is via Message on their page.

The basic question I'm asking is what is the best say of asking/writing to the club? What points should I be saying or asking? What should I be stating about myself? Is it worth me asking about the club, seeing what kind of audience they are targeting or similar questions? Ask when the club is planning on opening? What order would be basic order of these points should I be putting these in?

A little about myself for those who don't know. I've been DJing 8 years since I was 14 and been playing small gigs in clubs in my town for 3 years. My main style of music is more Tech/Funk/Progressive House but can play a wide range of House music. (Urban style house is more popular in the local area) I have experience playing on a wide range gear from Vinyl, CD and Digital. I've also have my regular twice monthly DJ mix which I post on SoundCloud. I've also worked in a evening club bar a year or so ago so I know the basics of running of a club. I part work in a hotel bar as my current job. Studied Music Technology and Music Production for 3 years at college aswell.

I'm not shy, know how to present myself, just mainly ever spoken face-to-face with club owners and DJs about gig, never wrote a letter/message before, so any advice would be great, helpful and much appreciated.


Cheers guys,
Kelsey B
