Hi guys 'n' gals

Dont know if i should post this here or somewhere els maby think of getting a section where we can post our gig reports on the forum. Just an idea.

So had a 40th last night was a blast in a half. Turned up at the venue very nice place set the rig up (early set-up) was sitting having a drink looking at the rig thinking what i was gonna buy next for it lol the birthday girl turned up with her girls to get the food ready etc was talking to them for a bit and was going throught what i thought i would do during the night. I thought i would play an hour of 80s tunes as she said she was an 80s fan so asked her if it was ok to play an hour of 80s from around 10 - 11.

"Yeah that sounds fab" so was playing the usuall tunes you play at a 40th etc then came 10 i thought might clear the floor as there was a lot of young people there as well but boy am a glad i played an hour of 80s. The floor was packed with young and old they loved it. So came the end of the night 12.00 and said the closing lines "Have you had fun , good night etc. The amount of people that came up to me and said the night was great but the highlight had to be the 80s hour it was a great feeling to know that everyone enjoyed themself. Gave out a load of biz cards , flyers etc and got a call just as i was writting this from her mates 40th in june. GREAT NIGHT LADS. Just thought i would share my great night with you all.

Well i love 80s i was born 1990 but ive always loved 80s tune but at a 18th or 21st u cant relli do an 80s set unless they clients says they want alot of 80s played. Ive dont a number of 80s theme nights they are great i've set one in october for a charity i try and support as much as i can so should be a good one.

But i will keep that in mind might come along to one of yours.

I love doing 40th birthday gigs as I am 39 now and it's great to play some old classics that I know they will love.

Well done Ross! ;)

I've said it before, I much prefer 30ths/40ths/50ths to 18ths/21sts. People with more experience of life and popular music know a good tune to dance to, not just the latest from Cascada or Pussycat Dolls.

Agreed. In fact 50ths are my favourites.

I like PCD, and not just because Nicole (lead-singer) is an absolute fox.

Glad you had such a good one, Ross!

I also agree with the last couple of comments...40ths & 50ths are my fave gigs too...probably coz I'm somewhere between the two!

Can't go wrong with 80's stuff, :) I want to specialise in 70's and 80's, I grew up with them, and think they were the best decades musically. A bit worried about doing "young gigs", been out of the game for so long :eek: .
In my experience no party is complete without this sort of stuff. I bet you incorporate a bit more 80's stuff on your normal gigs from now on, and there are some good remixes of 80's stuff about at the moment to put an up to date slant on them.
Glad you had a good night, keep it up, hope they didn't want to mother you too much!!!!!,:D I did an engagement last weekend and the mum who was 60+ had a crush on me, don't know how old she thinks i was!!!!!:zip: .
