Did a christening on sunday, with a crowd that wanted to join in which makes it better all round. Enjoyed myself loads and had good feedback... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The party is underway and some people are dancing and you are putting on classics that you think would fill the floor out more, but it isn't.

Mostly decline, i'm normally too nervous

Close friends and family get a discount, everybody else can stump up the full amount.

Friday night was a 40th birthday (in fancy dress), great crowd, had done his wife's 40th a couple of months ago and got asked back to do his. One of those nights i could have carried on after the time as i was having a ball. Saturday was my first encounter with dealing with a big venue, wedding co-ordinator. It was in the Martell Suite at Aintree Racecourse, from where you got great views of the course. When i went to setup in the afternoon i wasn't looking forward on all the trips i would have to make to get my gear up, but to my great relief they had a big trolley which cut my number of tr

Which tune have you found works for you at the end of a wedding party. Besides the usual ones, ie, simply the best, time of my life, which tune gets everybody up to round off a good night. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif
