I've had the occasional wedding where Candy by Cameo comes up. People from the South love it. Us northerners just look on, totally confused. I just can't see the appeal of it.

At one gig where...

The last 18th birthday party I did, booked under the impression it was for an older lady, the Smokie song came up as a request. Of course I played it & it went down a storm. The birthday girl's...

Up here clubland dross is pretty much universal. Barely a gig goes by I get to avoid playing Children Of The Night & scooter etc.

Last night's prom a case in point. Who'd have thought that a room...

Oh no we don't :lol:




For my money the only good Damian one (if you can call it that) s the 'movie version'. I think it was the original before PWL issued the one that ended up charting. ...

DJs of Facebook groups: "oh I love gay weddings. They're always crazy fun". The reality: just like any other wedding they rely on guests who are up for a good party.

Suffice to say that I died...

Last weekend, two in a row - both in the same venue. But can I leave my kit there? Haha as if I'd even want to.

Friday was very indie heavy early on - no requests as such just the way things...

Correction: over 120 tracks (130 was typo) but VDJ apparently failed to log some because I played under 45 seconds :lol: See also, it kinda stinks VDJ doesn't track the seconds a track is played...

Eesh! You'll get your DJ licence revoked for admitting such conduct!

Saturday saw me at a place I'm not entirely unfamiliar with, and on arriving at my specially reserved parking space (joke) I...

Ooof that's definitely some kind of weirdo right there.

If they really were a potential customer, who'd even take the time to write something like that? You're not wrong about living rent free...

I decided to tidy my garage yesterday & while I was on had a visit from a DJ friend.. At 4pm my phone rang. Am I available to DJ a wedding TONIGHT? Well uhh yes. Kind of. I got the jist that a...

So...

A good few gigs down the line, including a proper rowdy handful and... I still love it. I'm not a fan of the weight of the carry bag for the console itself if I'm upstairs - but then I'm...

Doubt it'll be 3w per colour. The clue is in the figure for total power consumption anyway.

Besides it's not how many watts, it's how bright the blasted thing is, innit guv.

My 2x Thomann...

No, but getting some kind of indication from people that they're enjoying the music is always a good start. Times I've done gigs, not seen a single word mouthed to a song or a solitary foot tapped...

Funny thing - I've had a daft amount of leads for parties lately 'for around 10-20 people' . Uhhh no thanks pet. Money is money but I just can't imagine crowds that small being any kind of fun. ...

A bit of a departure from the trappings of the usual familiar last night. My little blingo carted me off to the fair town in the North of Yorkshire called Richmond. And ayy, it were right good.
...

My guess would be that charging control will be dealt with by electronics inside the pack. Companies don't tend to design their own power supplies these days - it's much easier just to buy something...

What voltage does the Denon run on? My mc7000 has an awful 4 amp 5 volt plugtop adapter (aka wall wart) which I decided to bypass in my console. I just bought a 5 volt 5 amp power supply & did my...

Funnily enough Julian I've been looking into buying a UPS recently - not for just any old power cut scenario though... for venues with a limiter!

If you're only looking to keep your playout...

When I started back doing this I was constantly saying everybody seemed to have forgotten all about wash & reflected light & that still hasn't changed much. Doing a gig without wash just reminds me...

I actually think the opposite... Well when I've got haze on. From where I stand most of the time I don't get to see my fixtures strutting their stuff (being about 4ft 6 doesn't help mind). But if...

I went down the gobo route ages ago & I'm increasingly finding people are non plussed by them - especially photographers who ask for anything but plain white wash to be turned off for the first...

I've been pondering exactly the same thing for years but I haven't quite been able to bring myself to do it :lol:

A few wash PARs on a couple of stands... job done. Who needs movers or derby...
