Resident DJS at The Venue
 DJ Ewan Dj Ewan has been with The Venue since it opened in April 1999. Since then he has worked in both The Sky Bar and The Ballroom but can mainly be found in The Sky Bar on most Friday and Saturday nights. Ewan blends the latest pop with the funkiest retro and never fails to get the crowd going. Requests and dedications are no problem to Ewan and can always find time to fit them in around his set, that is if they are accompanied by a nice cold pint or written down on the back of a £5 note!! "I always like to play songs and dedications for my customers, but we really need to extend the hours til 4am to fit them all in." Click here for website.

 DJ Darren Darren is one of the longest serving DJs at The Venue (after DJ Ewan & Simon!). He has been found working in various pubs and clubs in Dumfries before being scouted to be a resident DJ at The Venue for the best in R&B, Hip-Hop & chart. He's not here as much as he used to be but he is back as much as possible from England where he works in radio and TV broadcasting for the BBC. "If you love R&B/Hip-Hop then come and see me, it's what I specialise in" Darren mainly DJs in England at large venues across the Midlands. He provides seamless R&B & Hip-Hop mixes with his own exclusive mixes and remixes especially for The Venue! Darren also brings exclusive music heard nowhere else, due to his contacts at all the major record labels. You’d be amazed how many songs he has played way before you hear it on Radio 1! (T.I. Ft. Rihanna was one of them!) Darren has signed a contract to play exclusively at The Venue over the festive period. Make sure you come and see him because nowhere else in Dumfries can provide you with the very best in new music. Click here for website. Darren's Top 5 floorfillers 1. Chillin' - Wale Feat.

 Mad-Sad Dj Davie Gibbs Veteran DJ, Davie Gibbs hung up his headphones many years ago and left his vast dj career behind him to come help out in The Venue. Davie has DJ'd in most pubs and clubs in Dumfries, but only ones your mum and dad would remember. Davie has now taken over The Venue Vision title from Simon and can be found roaming about taking pictures for the big screens. "Taking photos in The Venue is a great laugh, watching people dancing and socialising and me taking pictures for them to remember the great laugh they had" Click here for website.

 DJ Simon Like Dj Ewan, Simon joined The Venue in April 1999, but only started a resident night in 2002; he can be found in the DJ box every weekend at some point, in between that he can be found managing the club!! Simon can be recognised by his retro telephone headphone, which he made himself! "Retro-pop is certainly my favourite type of music and I always get a good reaction from the crowd when I put it on. I'm always on the look out for a classic that's been left in the past and forgotten about just so I can resurrect it again." "Not only do I love retro cheese, but I also love my indie, The Killers, Kooks, Fratellis, The View, The Enemy, Kings of Leon, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park etc, its all good, and goes down really well with my regulars."
