Cathy and Len hired me to sing at their drinks reception, during the evening party and to provide a DJ service to finish. The crowd were a lot of fun! We had lots of interactions and they gave me some great requests! It’s one of my favourite parts of the job, talking to the crowd, getting a feel of the music they like and generally trying to make them laugh and have a good time. Unless the situation calls for it I never just stand there playing songs like a robot. I feed off the crowd and the more I can interact with them – the better I play.

After the buffet had been served it was time for the disco. I just wish i’d filmed it because the crowd were so responsive that it made my job as the DJ so easy! The dance floor was rarely empty and they were cheering at the end of each song! And then cheering when they realised what the next song was! It was brilliant for me! I’ve never had a response quite like it!

As a DJ, sometimes it’s really hard to get a hook on a crowd. Trying to find the nice common ground that they like to keep them on the dance floor, but this crowd were the type that I wish could come with me everywhere I go!

   Cathy and Len seemed happy with the service I’d provided for them and said they would book me again. I really hope they do because sometimes you just get a good feeling from people and I got that from these two newlyweds. But, that’s the nature of this business – you converse with someone about their plans over a period of months, get to know them a little, have a great day’s celebration with them and then poof! You’re gone!

It’s strange old business, but one I love.
