Getting back in the swing - Music help!

[Charlie Brown]

Next weekend I've got three jobs on and I'm determined to have a blast, taking pleasure of watching folk enjoy themselves.

My main concern is the Saturday Wedding. First wedding of the year, with many more to come.

Somehow, I've lost a good 3,000 popular wedding tunes. Don't ask how - but they've gone walkies.

If anyone has 5 minutes to knock up a simple yet effective list (purely to jog my memory) of whats working well ATM, I would be most grateful.

Saturday is a big one with Dad and I installing 20 uplighters on large podiums, 10 around the room and another 6 in a 'chill out' room. Ben is bringing his 22ft starlit dancefloor too.

I'm sure I'll be fine and my 'mojo' will come back but just in case, a few suggestions would be grand! :beer1: :beer1:

This is what they have requested so far...(pretty rubbish IMO)


Billy Joel - Just the way you are (last dance......aaaggghh)
Moonlight Shadow
any 80's
I have a request from a friend for Bon Jovi.....get it in early hopefully no one will notice...
Dolly Parton - Jolene, 9 to 5, islands in the steam
Down under - Men at Work......I'm sure my future husband is gay...
Piano Man - Billy Joel
Everything - Michael Buble
the rest is up to you......

Thank you very much in advance guys. :)

Did Jovi Living on Prayer last night at a 21st. Awesome response as always (even did the cheesey turn it down on chorus and let crowd sing bit - they loved it)

Piano Man is a classic for early evening at a wedding - class choice.
Everything is a perfect first dance follower to get older relatives up and enjoying things and feeling part of it all.

9 to 5 is class and always works with the ladies.

Rest are a bit duff, but do what I do with playlists. Cherry pick and make sure they are around when you play them.

Anyone else? Cheers!

Chris Brown's "Yeah x3" is killing it for me in Yates. Not really had a young enough "mobile" crowd to try it on yet though.

Anyone else to help me get into the swing?

From 70's to today. :)

"We Are Family?" :D


Also a more modern tip,
J-Lo. Ft. Pitbull - On The Floor
Jeremih Ft. 50 Cent - Down On Me
Lady GaGa - Born This Way
Rihanna Ft. Drake - What's My Name

I do worry when DJ's discuss clients wishes in this way in a public forum...
It doesn't look professional, and clients do look at DJ forums!

The customer is always right Charlie... ;)


Anyway, the last few Weddings soaked up Rihanna, Rod Stewart, Bruno Mars, J-Lo. Ft. Pitbull will be popular.

yes Ive played this last 4 gigs and really really works easy to drop in as its got that breakdown bit in it - I was shocked as the tune is not that oriinal
