    Default If I never hear xxxxxxx again, it will be too soon.

    What songs have you played one too many times? Which ones make you think you're not getting paid enough for this job? Which ones grind your gears?

    Matty put forward " Let it go " in another thread, which inspired this one.

    I'll add Amazed by Lonestar, although I love them, if I have to play that as afirst dance at another wedding, I may just hang myself from the trusslite.

    Over to you,folks.

    Well this is true, but I would make an exception, anything by Adele.

    Not that I get asked anyway

    My musical tastes do come into it - I wouldn't take on bookings where I didn’t like the music. That’s one big advantage of being self-employed, I really am my own boss and choose to run my business how I want.

    Excuse me, but I'd like to point out a couple of things.
    Firstly, I've always said the " He who pays the piper calls the tune ", and if folk are prepared to pay, I'm prepared to play, with very few restrictions . ( And if you'd been with me on Monday night, you'd have had absolute proof of that. )

    Secondly, it is indeed a job I like very much, and I have no wish to find another, but hand on heart, who can say that they're happy to play every single request?

    There are times when I feel you haven't really grasped the concept of Mobile Discos. You're not actually supposed to enjoy yourself, you're supposed to endure the pain like a man. It's character building, you know.

    And you know, I could play those cheerfully every week.

    There are loads of tunes I play at gigs that I'd happily smash my radio to bits to stop playing but they who pay, say what I play. I sometimes almost have to stop myself disagreeing with a customer complimenting me on the music

    You and me go well together then!

    But just because these particular songs give me the pip, doesn't mean I won't play them. I just need the stick on smile for a few minutes.

    That's my view too.
    I have played what the client wanted and watched no one dance.
    I have played until 4am to keep people happy.
    Then got bogged down in snow drifts trying to get home.

    I think its just a matter of taking the rough with the smooth as in life.

    I will play just about anything for a client but to add one or two to Peter's list, Bryan Adams Everything I do, and Wet's Love is all around are deeply embedded in my scream if I have to play again pile!

    Journey don't stop ... nearly made it but still just bearable!
