exbutlinred82 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Been doing this for 6 years now and never get invited to parties no more (unless i'm working). I want to.....1)DO the CHA CHA SLIDE. 2)Ask the DJ for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers when the dance floor is full of old ladies. 3)Tip my drink in the DJs amplifier. 4)Ask th DJ for that song with HELLO in the middle and get cross when he doesnt understand!! 5)Be given a free Glostik. 6)Murder a Karaoke song and expect to be put straight back up again. 7)Dance a whole slow dance with my partner without having to dash off 45 secs from the end. I never get no invites from family and friends no more....they just expect me to work for nothing or cheap....Do you suffer the same?? I f you're in Yorkshire can you help me please???Invite me to your party!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Gary (GDK) 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I went to an 18th last night... DJ was awful.. set up would of being alright if he had heard of cable ties. No concept of music at all apart from dance. I heard Darude - Sandstorm four times to! But the highlight of the night had to be his light boxes.... complete with traffic light sequence.... they were off all night then for the last two songs they were switched on. So a sh!e experience!

flash911 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thats one thing I hate about djing. You never know who is out there taking notice. If I had a dj in the audience I would rather he/she came up to me and said "......................" and pointed me in the right direction rather than just sit there and whinge later . If it helps me to get better Id appreciate all comments and hints . I know I am not perfect but i think I do a good job. Am I alone int this thought ???? Link to post Share on other sites
NRG Roadshow 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 DOnt get so many invites as I used too. I think it because people know that Friday and Saturday nights are my work time and the chances are if they ask me to come the answer will be no as Im working.......so they just dont bother asking anymore LOL Kaz......I would have come to your party, but alas Im working!!!

trebor171170 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 went to 50th, should have been doing disco but they had in-house Dj who was teribble - this was just my own opinion I was sat with my wife and every record was cut after 1 minute never heard a full song First 90 minutes were mixes, this was so the birthday boy could mingle. I did wonder what the other guests were going to do whilst he did this. There was no announcement for the buffet There was no request for the birthday boy (it by the way a surprise party) to say thanks to his wife and family for setting it up and also to friends past and present On a positive note I did manage to give out several cards has it was mentioned that I did disco's Lets say that no one will be booking that venue for there do Jacqi had even supplied the Dj with some requests has they are both Northern Soul fans We got main stream motown Were looking for - Teddy Pendergast Bessis Banks Otis Clay Al Wilson would have been good or any Wigan Pier Link to post Share on other sites
Bouncy Dancefloor 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 ill defend DJ's on the Northern Soul thing, but maybe its a Southerner th ing not alot of people know what it is, its essentially rare soul from the 60's. Im biased slightly as my dad is into it big time and runs a local Northern Night, but most DJ's down here dont seem to know what it is! (maybe its different up north?)

Sounds like you were out looking for work. 2. you say that nobody will be booking that venue for their parties, why not ? do you have to book the in house dj ?Perhaps birthday boy has asked for no announcements and mixed music ? 3. who is jacqi ? 4. sorry to be a pain but i must admit it really does wind me up when djs start to criticise other djs.

trebor171170 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I totally agree Chris!!! This happens far too regularly on these forums. Point 1 - I always carry cards in my wallet and was asked by several people for one, Point 2 - yes you do have to have the in-house dj, has they asked if they could have there own and was told no. Point 3 - this happens to be Birthday boys wife Point 4 - not sour grapes, more quailty of the performance. Maybe you had to be there to undetrstand the comments made. I too have suffered the DJ who knows best syndrome. We probably all have at some. Any way it time to look forward to Halloween and then party season plus my birthday Link to post Share on other sites

When you see people you "know" surely they can contact you without using a card??? tongue out icon I think that what we were getting at was the sheer ammount of times DJ's on this forum have seen others work that are pants and have to shout about it. How many times have we seen DJs saying "I went to a party, realy enjoyed myself and the Guy working was superb!!" NEVER!
