carl1974 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi all This saturday i am doing a corporate function in a local well known gym establishments function room. There will be around 175-200 guests which is probably double what i have had previously. Age range is 18-65 so varied. Spoke with client and he told me there were going to be other things going on in other area's like bucking bronco, buffet etc so this calmed me a little knowing i was'nt going to be staring out at all these people at once but was a little nervous at 1st. Am actually looking forward to it and if i can get half of them up dancing then i will be pleased. Any tips...? Link to post Share on other sites
wizard 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 It probably won't be any different to your other gigs.......just more people. the one good thing about a larger crowd is that you are more likely to get some people that like to dance. I always seem to prefer larger gigs seems a better atmosphere Good luck and don't worry The oldest swinger in town....... probably. Happy Easter.. well I have seen easter eggs in the shops Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from looking smart, keeping the rig neat and tidy, carrying back-up equipment and keeping the volume at a sensible level, Wizard is right, as the gig probably won't be any different to your other gigs! Once the food is out of the way, there'll be plenty who'll want to dance for sure, so here's a sample of 20 crowd pleaser tracks which, from experience, seem to go down rather well at most / corporate gigs. In no particular order: 1. I Want You Back - Jackson 5 2. We Are Family - Sister Sledge 3. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson 4. Macarena - Los Del Rio 5. Rapper's Delight - Sugar Hill Gang 6. I Got You (I Feel Good) - James Brown 7. 500 Miles (I would Walk) - Proclaimer's 8. Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - Wham 9. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees 10. Saturday Night - Whigfield 11. Get Up Offa That Thing - James Brown 12. Let's Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams 13. We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off - Jermaine Stewart 14. It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls 15. Casper Slide - DJ Casper 16. Dance The Night Away - Mavericks 17. Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex 18. You To Me Are Everything - The Real Thing 19. Young Hearts (Run Free) Candi Staton 20. Oops Upside Yer Head - Gap Band Don't forget it's the Halloween weekend! Wear a smile! smile icon Link to post Share on other sites
