Gypsy Wedding

[Excalibur]

A few years back, I was booked to DJ at a "birthday party" in a sports bar.

As I was playing background music a Bride and Groom walked in and told me they forgot to say it was a wedding and "sure its cheaper now". I am based in Northern Ireland and knew it was Travellers straight away.

The Night went like this:
- Took Payment
- First Dance
- 30 mins of dancing
- 1st Karaoke song "dancing queen". Half way through dancing queen the families decide that it would be fun to fight and so a mass brawl unfolded to the backing track of dancing queen.
- Bar staff break up the fights and throw everyone out apart from 3 people
- The remaining 3 people decide that it would be fun to steal all the bottles of sprits from the bar whilst the staff deal with the fight...
- Police arrive
- I Give police a statement
- I Pack down my gear and go home

Luckily I got my payment before the gig started. And that was my experience of a Gypsy Wedding.
