Cha Cha Slide - DJ Casper
Amirlillo - Tony Christie
500 miles - Proclaimers
Veo veo - Teresa Rabal (Heard all over Europe at Thompson/Thomas Cook resorts)
Hannah Montanna - best of both worlds
Celebration - Dora the Explorer (If you can find it)
tracks from Lazytown
Vengaboys - we like to party
HSM - What time is it?
HSM - All in this together.
Who let the dogs out
DJ oetzi - hey baby
Coast to Coast- Hucklebuck (Great for musical chairs, etc)

Should see you just about right with that crowd.

i do a school gig that is similar, they split them down the middle so that they can all enjoy themselves, sounds like a recipe for disaster having 5 to 11 yr olds

Same here, they want completely different music. Young ones want Bob The Builder and older ones want Lady Gaga!

I'm now in the same boat as you - I've done quite a few kids parties before, but tommorrow night I've got my first Disco for the local Junior school - lukcily they're breaking it into two 1hr 15min sessions, one for yrs 3/4 and one for yrs 5/6 so I can tailor the content to the audience a bit more, but I'm very concious that this is a whole boatload of kids in each session (estimated at between 60-110!!) and not an easy audience either.

However, apparently they've had a "average" DJ (not my words) for the last few years, so hopefully I can't be any worse!

Wish me luck!

Just in case you were wondering - Play.com stock all of the above - does Veo Veo really go down well in an English speaking school?? I couldn't understand a word of it I might have to get the Dora album though for my daughter Thanks for the tips!

Veo Veo is amazing, they ALL know it! I tried it as a one off a couple of years ago and it had the place bouncing. Any kid that has been on a package holiday with Kids Club/Kids Disco in the evening will know it.

My daughter informs me that Nick Jr. have a radio applet that has all he songs she wants for her birthday (She'll be 5 in two weeks). Dora is also on there with Celebration & We are family, worth a listen to be honest.
