deejaymitch 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I don't know how much research a lot of you guys and girls do but sometimes it's essential, especially when it comes to genres you don't know much about. For 80s - watch VH1 Classic, watch TOTP2, listen to specialist radio stations, buy the Guinness Book of Hit Singles (and read it), look at 80s compilation cds and talk to your customers. I'm a DJ based in Northern Ireland with nearly 10 years' experience offering a range of services. Including club residencies, karaoke, pub quizzes, specialised wedding service, Master of Ceremonies, Compere, Night at the Races and much more. Link to post Share on other sites
