rememberance slowies (funerals)

[Have a disco]

Have recently done disco wake in last month local footballer car crash etc etc

obviously Puff Daddy - Missing you, came up as the requested tune

what other slowies would you refrain from playing at a disco just in case it got all weepy to much or people have asked you to stop playing because of recent deaths etc etc

I have had tina turners - the best

[Corabar Entertainment]

Do you mean at a wake, or at the post-funeral celebration (and yes I use that word, because it is a celebration of the person's life)

[Have a disco]

Yep spot on always call them disco wakes

[Corabar Steve]

A wake is when you sit with the desceased prior to the funeral. (& stay awake, hence the name)

[dj_ags]

DJ Sammy - Heaven (Candlelight Mix)

I would refrain from playing this simply because it is reguarly played at childrens funerals and is quite upsetting, especially for parents of the child.

Also Westlife - Flying Without Wings is associated with childrens funerals too.

[Corabar Entertainment]

Yep spot on always call them disco wakesI know - a lot of people do. For those of you who don't know what I am on about.... a wake is actually the period (usually 2 days and nights) between the time someone dies and the time they are buried. Someone stays with the coffin and sits with them all the time to watch over them (family, friends, neighbours, come visiting and take turns). ie there is always someone awake - hence 'The Wake'

Didn't Steve just write that?

[Corabar Steve]

Yep! well something similar anyway

[Corabar Entertainment]

I got sidetracked off-forum when I was writing it. When I started, there were no posts after Badgers..... buy the time I'd finished, however...... :omg:

Anyway, at a post-funeral celebration, I am not sure that you should play any sad slowies - unless there was something that the family particularly wanted.

[Corabar Steve]

Answer the question & you might get an answer! Your original question was a bit ambiguous.

So are we talking ......

a) general disco
b) a wake
or
c) a post funeral celebration of the deceased
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????

I think Badger meant a general disco. I may be wrong, but i think he was meaning what songs would you refrain from playing at a general disco in order to prevent a sad atmosphere at the function.

No it looks like option c. The title of the thread has gained (funerals)

In which case wouldn't the logical thing to do be ask the client?????

[dj_ags]

Your guess is as good as mine :teeth:

I would certainly ask the client before the gig just to make sure...best way!

[reemicks disco]

we would ask the client what they wanted us to play, would also ask for deceased favourite song

[Corabar Steve]

That could, however provoke the reaction that Badger is trying to avoid :cry:

[Have a disco]

A general disco where customers have ask a certain tune currently playing NOT to be due to a recent death

could not clarify this question much clearer

refuse to be provoked although a certain person is being tediously awkward/cantankerous about question in/at hand JUST ANSWER IT stop beating around the bush

[Corabar Entertainment]

Badger - nobody is being cantankerous except you, and no-one is try to provoke you! - there was genuine confusion as to what you meant! :omg:

[Have a disco]

Im sorry but continual questioning the question is starting to wind me up just wantng answers not continual digs because no one can understand me please note its not just 1 person at but several

beginning to feel that everything Im commenting on is a pure waste of time as Im feeling continually belittled by the big disco guys with there over inflated egos.. I HAVE ONE disco not 10 or 12 no wonder most just watch rather than participate to scared of being out commented or threaded by those on 1000+ threads

I think I'll just leave it to the Know it alls or so they think....

Sorry Angela Im taking some time out have enough worries without this hassle.. I will not be made to feel inferior to others

[Corabar Steve]

If you were refering to me didn't I answer the question when I said....

Please don't take this as a dig coz it isn't intended as one but.......

Maybe if you slowed down, thught about what you were typing & used some punctuation, the problem would not arise?

[soundtracker]

I agree with Steve on this, its bad manners to write without punctuation, and leads to people getting confused as to the meaning.

i.e "Wanted, piano for old lady with carved legs"

[Corabar Steve]

In fairness, they were only carved after she had her veins done :teeth:

I wouldn't say bad manners, but it does make it a lot easier for evryone else if you do use some punctuation.

[soundtracker]

My English teacher always told us, that not using punctuation correctly, was bad manners, and would prevent us from ever becoming gentlemen! So there!!

[Corabar Steve]

That is besides the point & off topic. What would you do in the situation being discussed?

[soundtracker]

Dunno! Didn't understand the question! :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

Come on, play fair.

[soundtracker]

when there's a post like that I really can't be bothered.

[Corabar Steve]

Come on, he's trying to ask a serious question. Just because someone isn't as eloquent as you dosen't mean you should ignore them.

[soundtracker]

Its not a question of eloquence, if I dunno wot someone is on about, I'd rather not try to guess, and get it wrong.

[Corabar Steve]

But it's been clarified now.

Stop being pedantic.

[soundtracker]

I ain't being pedantic - its gibberish, its has bad has Dudree!

[Corabar Steve]

A disco where a member of the client's family is recently deceased. Would you ask what songs not to play or if there are any songs they'd rather you didn't play? Or is there another way you'd deal with it?

[Corabar Steve]

its has bad has Dudree!It sin't has bad has that!

Aah I see! Same as every function, ask for playlist and a list of those they don't want- Try and programme in some funerial favourites:

When I'm dead & Gone
Going Underground
Living in a box
Hole in the ground :teeth: :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

Behave yourself!
