Jason v G 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Mmmmm, there's some definate players in there............................................ and some definate buffet tracks! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/wacko.gif Have you asked what you are supposed to tell guests who ask for amarillo ? YOU KNOW THEY WILL. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/533.gif At the moment I seem to be having to play Mr Cristie at least twice per gig, and even then I get people pleading with me to play it again. (my record is 7 times, all during the 2 hours after the buffet) Hopefully they will concede to popular demand on the night http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif Good luck anyway, have a good one.

Gary 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) Seems like you and he (and hopefully the guests) are in for a good night, with a hour of exceptions, which you might have to slip in as a choice music bed for the non-dancy parts of the evening... including: Buzzcocks Cast Flying Damned Love song Del Amitri I won‚t take the blame Garbage Only happy when it rains Levellers Celebrate Lightening Seeds Marvellous Manic Street Preachers Australia New Radicals Get what you give Pretenders Kid Red Hot Chilli Peppers Under the Bridge Sex Pistols Pretty Vacant Spizz Energi Where's Captain Kirk Stranglers Hanging Around QUOTE At the moment I seem to be having to play Mr Cristie at least twice per gig, and even then I get people pleading with me to play it again. (my record is 7 times, all during the 2 hours after the buffet) Hopefully they will concede to popular demand on the night This is definately a point that you'd need to clear with the birthday "boy" at the very beginning of the night. eg: "I see from your list that you've specified -NO AMARILLO -, which is understandable... however, if some of your guests ask me to play it as a request for them to dance and enjoy themselves to, should I play it, or mention that you've asked for it not to be played?" (Ok, I admit, thats a bit of a weighted question... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/whistling.gif ) I find that personally, I get a lot of requests in each night, especially at family dos and other multi-age group events, and playing any track more than once means that someone who didn't get their request played due to lack of time, might feel disgruntled. Having said that, I have got 2 seamless loops which load up automatically whenever I cue up "Amarillo", which do make the one play last as long as the crowd want.

Well, this is a 40th birthday party. I think you will find that 40ths are generally speaking not family parties, but mostly friends, so there may not be this issue anyway. Of course, I will assess the audience on the night and respond accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites

brianmole 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 QUOTE How do you get these gigs Brian? 24 years in the business I think! This particular one is interesting, I used to do the Leatherhead football club over 18 parties every other week when I was 18 years old, and the the Riverside club in Fetcham. During this period, I built a reputation for playing what the punters wanted. These guys remembered, found me, and booked again for a bit of nostalgia http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/laugh.gif BTW, I have to agree with Ian! (own taste of music of course)!

Tim from Disconights was also there enjoing the music. I started the evening with about an hour of mixed funky house as background, then played mainly 80's as per the list.
