Hi
just thought ill post about last nights gig.
It was my first wedding and was bricking it. Set up about 2:30 because my dad finished from work early, all sorted, got bout about 6:40 (back to the venue) double checked everything all was gonig well :D
The client paying me turned up and payed me full in cash as signed on the contract, played 60's background from 7:00 to about 7:30 then the buffet opened and about 15-20mins later speeches took place (worse part of the night) feedback was occuring which was a pain as they was right in front of the speakers! but i did my best to sort it out, about 10 mins later started playing some pop/dance, got asked to play 80/90 music agadoo etc... got 80% of people up, did a few slow dances in between for the couples at the wedding. got payed the £30 in cash for extra 30mins playing time (contract says 1hour) but only had hall til 11:30 so did 30mins etc, started playing club music from classic big tunes etc, finished with a slow dance then they all asked for 'ONE MORE' im was loving it at this moment in time so i went ok then :) all raving to it, i played about 5 more! :D but i enjoyed myself. Rob (MaxsRoadshow) and my friend Jade was helping, well rob was, jade was dancing in on the dancefloor lol. finished about 11:50 20mins after supposed to, but i was loving it and enjoying myself as well as all the 'ravers' :D i was thanked for a good evening and told ill be recommended etc... really happy, didnt want to stop :) but had to :(
Thanks for the help Rob and Jade :D
