    .. You're in bed just dozing off having come down from a decent gig and... Your flipping van alarm starts going off. It takes a while for it to register because it's not a sound you've ever heard before now...

    You grab the keys & run downstairs, open the back door then as you get onto the driveway you realise you're naked. Oh well.

    So why did the alarm go off? The van was still locked, all windows & doors intact... A moth!!

    You meet the bride and groom for tomorrow's all-day wedding (because they've been too busy up to now) and despite saying they didn't want prelude music, now decide they do.

    The venue is remote and the wedding ceremony will be sans-electricity (Maui 5 Go and iPad controlling everything)....so time to sit down and pre-mix an hours worth of music whilst the guests settle in when I should be in bed snoozing to be at my best

    Customers assume that because you're " over 21 " you don't have/ won't play anything released this century. Grrr.

    Don't you hate it when?







    Colleagues boast about having gigs with mainly 70s music.


    I'm still a mod here, sonny. I've got lots of buttons I can press.

    And a lot of DJs assume similar too - especially younger ones

    A guest with an overinflated sense of important demands the mic to announce to the crowd that she & the bride do a special dance to the track you're playing. You don't allow it but later when she feels the need to sing along to Proud Mary you again refuse, she gets the bride involved . You say the same to the bride. Bride goes away again without comment. Woman comes back again & tells you on no uncertain terms "you're gonna be on TripAdvisor". Well miss, if you carried much weight with the bride surely you'd have been a bridesmaid? Meh.
