Playlist suggestions for joint 30th

[DJ Paulie]

Doing a 30th birthday gig for a pair of twins, (guys unfortunately :( ) The younger brother had a accident at the age of 28 and now has mobility and hearing problems, but he still has a good time and enjoys a beer.

LAST SONG OF THE NIGHT!


D-Ream – Things Can Only Get Better

[Shaun]

Nice list. You can have a lot of fun with that.

[WWDJ]

Looks good to me. Better than the drivel I was asked to play last week :D

[funkymook]

Excellent - I'd enjoy working my way through those :D

[DJ Paulie]

Won't get to play all of them although gig starting at 8:30pm & finishing at 2:30am

[sweetie]

6hrs should get through a lot of them though. long gig too - did one a few months back, I was wrecked after it.

[Excalibur]

I agree with Shaun and Martin. Nice playlist, should be a great night.

[Corabar Steve]

Well at least you have enough time to play all the "must plays" & you can cherry pick from the rest. Nice list.

Scatman John – Scatman

Scatman John – Scatman

I was in Yeovil and the PC at the local jobclub wouldn't let use search for anything like that, it picked up the word scat ! Found out by not being able to search for Somerset College of Arts & Technology ! :Censored:

[simonp]

Lots of decent stuff to choose from there - should be a good night :D

[Eski75]

Just out of interest to the newb here.....you get sent a list like that and at a glance you can roughly tell how long it will take to get through it?

How many tracks to you reckon you guys get through on an average night? (I appreciate everyones "average" night is different)

Well if you use basic maths, since most modern songs are three to four minutes long, as a sweeping generalisation, that's fifteen to twenty songs per hour, if you aren't interrupted by things like speeches, presentations et al.

So, if you had a grueller 7 till 1, you'd expect to be looking at 100 to 120 songs. By the same token, with an easy 8 till 11.30, you might play as few as fifty.

[DJ Paulie]

Then again how long is a piece of string ? Some songs are longer or shorter so really it's not possible to say how many you can play.

VDJ can work them out for you if you have played them before, or if you put a list of songs into the side bar with some that you have played and some you haven't then it will give you a "at least" time. Really useful for when your hitting the last half an hour and you want to work out a rough running order and if you have a certain last song to play at a venue where the manager is stood by the light switch at 23.59 :)
