UKHero 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) One of my pet hates in life is the use of the word Garantee. The only thing you can guarantee in life is that you will die, and I think scientists are working on that one... Imagine my frustration when I see something like this on a web site (edited): :cense: DJ "XX" will guarantee a packed dance floor!! How can any DJ guarantee a packed dance floor or words to that effect under the new Fair trading regulations ? isn't this miss-leading?

disco4hire 1 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I put it down to the exuberance of youth, I've seen equally silly claims like '10 years experience' from a 17yo DJ, it makes me cringe New Site Clouds Disco Link to post Share on other sites

Robster 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 This too is a petty hate of mine. Do You Guarantee A Packed Dance Floor? NO i have taken over many of a residency when the previous host guaranteed to bring the customers in ..they often do for the first two weeks with there mates and karaoke cronies. ..then it goes dead Why would any DJ/KJ promise and guarantee that they can do something that they can't 100% back up. I was told by a very wise shop owner i once worked for that the way to get customers and keep them is to... under promise and over deliver.. His great advice has served me very well through the years. Rob Star EntertainmentsFacebook pagelandline 0161 265 3421Mobile: 0777 99 777 26 Link to post Share on other sites
Rapmeister 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Again what a ridiculous statement!! No DJ can guarantee a packed dance floor no matter how experienced you are. It depends on the atmosphere of the crowd and the DJ's ability to read them to get the dance floor moving. I have played for crowds who have really enjoyed being at the venue and danced pretty much straight away and I have played for crowds who really can't be bothered and would rather talk to friends all night. I have found that if you can get the girls up dancing the rest is generally easy because the blokes will like sheep follow suit. :cheers: Rapmeister Experienced Motown & Northern Soul Mobile DJ Link to post Share on other sites

exbutlinred82 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I can guarantee an empty dance floor. Oo, self-confidence at an all-time low! I think Big Ben needs a bit of support chaps!! We've all been there Ben....its part of the job!! ..........Ask Thomson, Airtours or Butlins if they'll guarantee a rain free holiday Ok ....apart from a short stint at The El Griego in Torremelinos and The Bahamas (in the 60's) Butlins have never been abroad. However they do guarantee there will be something to do all the time......even if it is chucking it down.A possible parrellel to the dance floor scenario. If they are not dancing....get them clapping.Shang -A- Lang,Come on Eileen,We Will Rock You....Penny Arcade (Black Lace).Just let them know you are there and you are trying...they'll love you for it!!

qcdiscodynamic 0 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would never guarantee a packed dance floor. I think anybody with a bit of experience could easily recall a night where you played every request and did everything you possibly knew to get people up dancing and either managed to get a handful of people up for 5-10 minutes at a time or didn't get anybody dancing at all. However, most of those evenings hopefully ended with people thanking you for a good night. Many factors influence whether you get a packed dancefloor or not. I've been a guest at quite a few parties this year and two of them were on two of the warmest evenings of the year (one on that glorious weekend in late March and the other a few weekends ago). Frankly even though I wanted to dance to most of the songs played at both parties, it was far too warm to do that. That's just one factor. Which is why I play Stealers Wheels Stuck in the middle "I don't know why I came here tonight, I got the feeling that something ain't right" best Avoid There may be trouble ahead at weddings though.......... Stuck in the middle with you can be such an apt track to play at times! I've often thought that Candi Staton's 'Young Hearts Run Free' is a somewhat daft track to play at weddings considering the first lines of the first verse. Admittedly it is a track that tends to appeal to a large cross-section of wedding party guests but those lyrics! Link to post Share on other sites
