That is your choice but it is not the correct one in my view. I was taught that the customer is king even if he has little or no taste. I dont have to like what I play - its a profession - not a hobby.Quote:

As an old adage says if the cap fits wear it. I can wear many caps!!! After 20 years as a DJ I have become very Diversive and Versitile
When doing private work. I do as the customer asks or requests as and when they ask or request. But inbetween times I will ad my own personality or regular party set I may play??? may that be old school or current new tracks if I can make them work then Im doing the right thing for my customers.
When doing DJ work wether for someone else I check to see how the land lies musically
Covering a mobile where Im just DJing I ask the person whom passed me the booking or work what the customer requested.. but usually the tweets will work if requested people are fickle animals LOL
In a pub music is generally rotated and depends on the night style required by the publican the tweets could work
In a club it depends on the night styles which can vary greatly the tweets generally will not work
I thought I recalled several threads by you on this forum moaning about bookings and fees being in decline - maybe I'm mistaken. If you are busy and doing well then I am happy for you.
Dont get carried away about The Tweets. I seldom play it (thank goodness) but at every gig I will try to include my current favourite tune whatever that happens to be at the time. Of course I realise that the music you play in pubs is different to what you play in clubs and again at mobiles. I have worked at the top in all three areas during the last 5 decades.

Btw, I'm going to try a 'brun' Leffe in a moment. £1.38 a bottle, it better be good! :D
Suspect you're too far South for the chain I love, selling Brun at £1.50 per 750Ml bottle. :eek: :D :D :beer1: :beer1:Quote:

The last time we did that I remember the lunacy of looking at a beer made in London, which had crossed the channel, been sold in France, brought back by us costing less than we could buy it for in England? :confused: :confused:
In case you're wondering how I could ever countenence a beer from so far South- Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. :beer1: :beer1: :D :D
No, but I was kidding....:DQuote:
