Last Nights gig!!

[KrazyKaz]

Last nights 13th birthday party was not one of my most enjoyable kids gigs.

It was held at an HM Prison Social Club.

Started off with a lad coming in with a bottle of coke which turned out to have alcohol in it. Mother of birthday girl took it off him.
Had to tell the guests there was no running around the car park allowed as security would not be impressed.
Then there were tears from the girls over some lads.
Then we had to put an announcement out telling the guests there was no smoking allowed on the premises, inside or out, or they could be escorted from the premises by security.
There was nearly a fight, boys argueing over girls.

Bearing in mind these kids were 12 - 13 years old. What are they going to be like when they are 'of' age?

The one song that was requested that filled the dancefloor the most was Bing Bang - Lazy Town

You know what I mean.

Smoking, trying to bring drink in, fighting over girls and girls crying etc.

It was like that when I was 13.... ;)

LOL....yeah know what you mean....never done a 13th but let's just say it sounds interesting....:rolleyes:

I might be putting my foot in it hear but - does anyone think a Prison social club is the right place for a party (security must be an nightmare)........i'm not saying there is a right or wrong place...I just think it's a bit strange....:)

As for being 13....too long ago......:)

I've done 13th's before, but not had one quite like last nights.

At my daughters 13th, there were tears etc. and the kids were hyper from Red Bull, but no one smoking or trying to smuggle alcohol in.

Done a lot of gigs at this club, ranging from 6yrs - 50th.

Security has never been a problem, we just had to warn/scare the kids that they might be in trouble if they get caught.

The club is not inside the prison boundaries as such, you don't have to go past security to get in there, but they are watching the outsides of the club via CCTV.

With regards to a strange venue, the club is available to hire if the bookee (or bookees immediate family member) works at the prison (ie, Prison Officer, Admin, Cleaner etc.) A contract has to be signed, and a deposit paid (get it back at end of function) So basically (providing there is no damage) the club costs nothing to hire

Kaz, sorry to hear about your gig hun, this is exactly why I do not do parties for the 13 - 21 age group (I would pass them over to the guys on here who specialise in that age group (and people say i am mental doing 5 - 12yrs)!!!

I have been told many times that I am loosing money by not doing them, but why should we discos have to suffer this kind of behaviour.

But........................... Next saturday I am doing a wedding reception!!!! so you see I can do other things apart from Childrens Parties.

Dont worry about it Kaz, you will come good next time.

best regards
