I never play "one more", certainly not after the allotted end time except in very very rare circumstances. You're not the first person that's did a turn for the crowd and get absolutely no thanks...

I'm not sure the rafters of the 18th century inn tonight's wedding at have ever had to endure as much hard style and German techno before :D
Turned out to be a cracking night despite the...
£30 for Killie away and that's through my brother in law who works for ticketing at Rangers :daft:
Apparently they have the best pies in the country. I'm not one for half time grub but I'll need...
:doh::doh:
I think this is the 6th year I've had my ticket and between covid, gigs, holidays and being way too nice and giving it to family members that are struggling to get one I've seen a grand...
Thursday night's wedding: Radiohead, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins etc...
Friday's: tonnes of ceilidh and trad Gaelic tunes.
Both turned out brilliant and had excellent feedback from both.

Had a great run of weddings the past couple of months. Last night was special, it was for a guy I grew up with and have known since I was about 3.
Some faces from the old scheme that I've not seen...
I was in a venue in town where you have to go through their PA tonight so it's just lights and playout.
I was home, packed away and in the hot tub with a bottle of wine and some Springsteen on by...
Had an absolute cracker tonight just outside St Andrew's. I tend to be able to turn my hand to most things but golf is one I'm not picking up too quick. I have aspirations to play a round in the Old...
My rather expensive (+£2k when I bought it) camera body shat the bed at last night's gig which kind of sums the whole evening up :rolleyes:
I mention it during my first dance / cake cutting intro spiel and I have wee half sized cards I leave on the tables if I don't think I'll get absolutely battered with requests from it.
I use my phone as a hotspot for it.
It's still online but not shared WiFi or anything and when it's set up you don't need to do anything so there's practically no security concerns as you're not...
You should set up ask the DJ. It's ideal for situations where people coming to talk to you isn't ideal.
Last night's was a plethora of new experiences for me:
Tog: "can you play something...
Absolutely. I had a recent transatlantic couple with 6xA4 page of VERY RnB heavy requests which I had it in my head was going to be really hard work - super white academic couple!!!
It was a...
Tbf there's certain differences between Glasgow and Edinburgh crowds not taking into account the differences in football songs linked to either city and we're only 40 minutes away on the motorway.

I'd say 7 out of 10 want to finish on Loch Lomond though it can fluctuate, at one point I went a good couple of months without playing it.
This couple actually had Loch Lomond and 500 Miles on the...
Didn't quite lower myself to the Birdie Song but I had an English couple's wedding just outside Edinburgh on Saturday. I've no idea why but you guys REALLY like the low hanging fruit.
I don't...
Had a run of absolute crackers these past few months so roll it on.
When not being a superstar DJ I teach at a secondary Additional Suppt Needs school and Thursday was their prom.
Booking...
Not done one of these for a while.
Really good wedding on Friday slightly marred by a handful of women who wouldn't give it a rest wanting some Rangers songs played despite the groom being a...
Never explain, never complain - no apology required on your part for playing a song you had no idea the bride didn't want to hear.
Had a very rare moodlighting only hire tonight.
Battery powered so literally down in a few minutes.
Blue and gold was the colour scheme. I'd had next to no dialogue with the couple but I asked...
Interesting observation about the kids and probably quite true.
I don't really count them as gigs but I'm my school's resident DJ (one of my favourite bits of feedback ever was a colleague saying:...
Congrats. We rescued a female GSD from a manky junkie :Censored::Censored::Censored::Censored::Censored::Censored::Censored: last August. It's been a lot of work undoing 3 years worth of neglect and...
Ball hair under 100 miles for Saturday's gig but it was great
Basically playing in the sitting room of a very beautiful old country pile. Lovely couple, lovely guests and loads of fun.
Turns...
UB40 have quite a druggy (albeit not generally coke) following. First time we were in Jamaica I heard more UB40 than Bob Marley :D
I had a good un last night. Quite an eclectic play list but I...
Look on the bright side,one of the groomsmen at my brother's gig last night got lifted before they'd even finished the meal :daft:
