  1. Hey Robster that sounds like a great idea!!Could you be a little more specific about how this works as I am looking to add some more ideas to our portfolio!! The song from the Lynx advert is.....?Do you sing it yourself??Is this only suitable for Kidz Parties??Not exactly sure how it works?? Much nicer approach in my opinion??
  2. Have been racking my brains in an effort to freshen things up a bit. Try this product for Kidz Parties (on the volunteer adults) and as a bit of fun for maybe 18/25 year olds,Its very visual and has gone extremely well where I have used it. Search in Amazon,E-Bay or Google....don't know how to provide link?? Anyone else got any more original ideas......PLEASE......?????????
  3. AAAAARRRRR..Thats Cute..... I was exactly the same....UNTIL.....I started to depend on the money!!
  4. I'm not complainig because I have been too busy just recently.I have noticed tho that despite getting some awesome comments and dishing out scores of business cards after gigs that the bookings are dropping off a bit for August and September......still got a couple of residencies tho!!
  5. McArdle Please take this as a compliment!! You make about 12 good points in your last post.Trouble is I sometimes have to be really in the mood to sit down and read your posts properly. You are obviously a bit of a Philosopher and have a good handle on life.Wondering if you'd get more response if you didn't deal with quite so many issues at one time. Trying to help....and definately enjoying what you post!!
  6. Apart from C.S... Hands up all the D.J's still packing the floor with those nine Mega Singles..... Hands down both of you. Now if Elton Rod or David want to take a sideswipe at everyone who has ever done a wedding on here thats fine by me....but they wouldn't because they are too proffessional.
  7. Now wait a minuite Back to the 60's and Jive Bunny (Thats What I Like...Hawaai 5-0 etc) is half my act!! LOL
  8. Yep..... He's up there with Bowie,Mercury,Stewart,Presley,Wonder and Elton....NOT.
  9. a Keep your chin up M8. A couple in my village have just taking on renting a pub that only took any real cash when I was there on Friday nights.The owner is a millionaire who lives in Canada and don't give a toss about his tiny investment.The previous landlady scraped home ....just.....but wasnt paying him any rent. This younger couple have come in and agreed to pay him rent (undisclosed) and invested 10 Grand in a property that isn't theirs (redecorating). In the time its been closed it has lost even more trade.Even my Fridays are quiter now.Their solution was to try an
  10. Now then ....Now then.....Guys and Gals.... (I'm with you....Jimmy!!)
  11. Moby....Who?? Dido.....Who?? Fatboy Slim....Who?? Half - a - Hit Wonders so embarassed by their lack of talent that they are not prepared to use their birthname.
  12. Thanks for that cmj. Back to the drawing board!!
  13. There is an extra onus tho......I think we all agree.I wanted the DJ to be good EVERY time I got married!!
  14. YEP Tony....put that way we would never take on another one. However in my village I can think of 8 couples who have become friends of me and my partner ....couples we may never have met if we hadn't been working for them!!!
  15. Paying the price for having 6 functions this weekend. Need some advice on a few equipment problems. Expensive Sennheiser Roving Microphone. The on/off swirtch seems to have worn down or sheared off.Any electronics engineers in the Yorkshire area help me with a rebuild for cash?? LCD T.V Screen. Laid face down on an amplifier....two very noticable gouges in the screen. Warrior Roving Microphone Snapped top bit of aerial.Still works ok.....but don't look nice!! If I can't fix the Sennheisser would like to use the receiving unit for the Warrior.Althou
  16. done loads of these....they are dead easy. Half of the evening is presentations and food. Knock yourself up some limbo poles and buy some cheap glostix and flashing LEDS of Ebay.Make sure you have a good roving mic for the presentations. Music will not be an issue...they love beating you with their strange requests....and they will no matter what you have. Keep them entertained and they can be fun.
  17. No Probz Kev. That is exactly what the Forum is for!! Come to think of it its also what Ebay is for. Couldn't imagine life without my Laptop now??
  18. I bow to your diplomacy Robster. Little bit harder when your speakers are full on and youre trying to educate the uneducatable. I'm sober..they are drunk....end of!! Thanks for the warnings....believe in fate tho!!
  19. Can't get over how childish people become when they are @@@@holed. My partner (Jackie) says I'm heading for a bruising when I am just as rude back......Don't care!!6FT 3INS and 17 stone.....Don't think it will be too much of a problem. 80'S night.....The room banging with 80's all night.Some woman insisting that her Husband sings MOON RIVER (badly) or she will report me to the birthday boy!!
  20. I'm sure you manage it ok but I never seem to get things quite right as a mobile Karaoke Host. Eventually when I move abroad I may buy a bar and do it properly.Everytime i've seen Karaoke done it works better when the gear is permanently at the venue professionally installed.With that in mind I'll probably stay 20% Karaoke and 80% Disco.
  21. well i cheat lol i ask my known singers who put requests in to sing there dancy numbers . Didnt have that luxury.....all complete strangers full with singers i dont even play songs in between For me personally those nights do not appeal
  22. The old cunundrum. Did an 80's night Saturday.. ..was on banging form.I was so good I wished I was watching me......LOL. However wondered how other Karaoke Hosts deal with this poser. Bags of requests for Karaoke but everytime I put the 80's tracks on between the singers the dance floor was absolutely heaving. Usually go with the one Karaoke and two for dancing formula on these nights but they were so gagging to dance I decided to go with the majority and thinned out the formula to 1/5. Cue complaints from the singers wanting their 3 minutes of fame. I canno
  23. Inflatable toys in search.....You should be buying in bulk and paying about .80p each.Loads of choice!! I bought 20 BOXED acoustic guitars for £1.50 each.In advanced search put wholesale and mixed lots and narrow your search to within 50 miles of your postcode..there may be some right bargains??
  24. Bouncy....1.10 Monday Morning. There is no eaey answer.Hyperactive as a child and it hasnt abated in adulthood. Heading for a nervous breakdown...but remarkably happy. You??
