The Manchester Agency Pay Gap — What DJs Aren't Told
Agency DJs across the UK are routinely paid flat fees of £100–£200 for a gig, regardless of what the client actually paid the agency.
The agency model
- • Client pays the agency £400–£1,000 for the gig
- • Agency takes a significant cut
- • You receive £100–£200 flat, no negotiation
- • No travel reimbursement
- • No direct relationship with the hirer
The AnyGig model
- • You set your own fee
- • The platform fee is charged to the hirer — not you
- • You keep 100% of your quoted fee
- • Direct communication with the hirer
- • Contract and payment protection on every booking
Finding Paid DJ Gigs in Manchester Shouldn't Be This Hard
