Are we legal or not???

Private Clubs also must have the same licenses and posted. The only time you the KJ would have to get a license from them would be if you are doing private parties with attendance of 300 or greater (I don't have a reference handy for that, but I know we found that in some of our research when we were starting out).

Good info to know. Thanks.

What about smaller clubs that can't hold more than 75 or 150? Is there any difference there?

Club size doesn't make any difference, except their license will be less. Fee is based on potential amount of use of the music.

Imcmains - thanks for the other web page where it shows the year 2004, so I didn't have to spend hours searching.

I feel it's important to dispel rumors as quickly as possible. Many people think all they have to do is buy a karaoke machine, get some music & POOF they're an instant KJ, and then wonder why they're out of business in a matter of months.

Many people don't understand the dedication it takes to please the customers, or the time it takes to put together a successful karaoke show, as well as the ongoing committment. Anyone who's been doing this for a while knows their is always new equipment to buy, repairs to be mde & upgrades, not counting constantly buying new music & keeping our books up to date. There are still those out there that think all we have to do is carry in the equipment, do a show & go home, and nothing else to do. I hear it from my customers all the time.
