hugobose 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 this old heart of mine = isley bros hold back the night = trammps apart from that i reckon you will do it standing on yer head. use the two types of genres as a base for a bit of one upmanship with the two different "factions" like the breakdancers used to do. pit them against each other in the dance stakes and finish off with the really cheesy usual stuff they can all make fools of theirselves to. i fancy this gig meself. p.s. i am from bristol too. my aunt lived in thornbury for years.

Dream Catchers 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 What is the bad idea? The songs on the lists are pretty reasonable, certainly the 80s list are all good floor fillers. Jim Link to post Share on other sites
chris_gilly 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 heres what id do, get the speeches, cake cutting etc done before half 9, then just use easy listening quiet music from both ages. then id start with the old stuff first then end on the new stuff, Link to post Share on other sites
Kingy 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 What a co-incidence. Tonight I am doing a 50th for the dad & tomorrow Paul is doing the son's 18th!!! 2 different venues and obviously not the same group of people as the O/P. Link to post Share on other sites

Ive just got back, the gaffer tipped me an extra £20 because it went so well! I used the play lists as a guide, i played most of the the newer stuff but played some better older stuff, it went down a treat!! Im so pumped i cant wait for my next gig now!! Its another 18th and the kid was there tonight! Link to post Share on other sites
