Who was asking for the extra songs? The client, or the guests?

I regularly get guests wanting one more song.

I've always checked in advance with the venue the situation regarding "one more",...

Did Coldplay do a cover of Chasing Cars? I can't find it anywhere.

How do you promote this to guests? Do you leave a load of cards around at the start of the night?

Do they have an offer doing the whole lot in one go, or did you buy the 5 'sets' individually that make up the back catalogue?

Seeing what some people play in the north of England, compared to what I play in the south, there's definitely a north/south taste difference too.


I've even seen some variations between counties

Wow - what a night! Excellent selection there.

Would be fascinated to see a played log of what you played during that gig!



For me on Saturday, I was covering for a DJ who was covering for another DJ. All arranged last week, and not my...

Nice gig on Saturday at a new venue for me, deep in the heart of Toby land. It was nice to be in one of the venues I'd seen on his videos in the past.

Quite a sprawling affair, with the ceremony,...

At least they'll be able to clear up their own spillages on the dancefloor!

Something I learnt the hard way a few years back... I now always run a smoke machine or similar off its own socket - I never share it with any other equipment.

The only experience I have of this area is the person who used to entertain children when I was a child - I must have been to at least 10 of his shows as a child, if not more, and he is still going...

Something with your first name in might help when people book to know who you are.

Not sure I'd want to phone up and ask for "Mr Mayhem"

So Whacky Wayne or Wild Wayne could be a couple of...

Would you mind sharing some examples of your 80s club classics? It's an area I struggle with and end up leaning more on the 90s - Black Box Ride on Time is as good as it get for 80s Club Classics...

At least we'll see an end to the Facebook posts from those claiming to have 'never spent at a Saturday night at home for 23 years' because they DJ every single weekend!

A quick roundup of my Christmas Parties.

Due to including a trip to Rome in mid-December, I only took on 4 events this year.

The first three were for private parties, each with around 120...

Yesterday was probably the most 'planned' wedding I've been part of. Lots of intricacies that I had to execute - and every song for the day handpicked by the bride and groom. Being an all day...

I have one of these: https://www.gear4music.com/Keyboards-and-Pianos/Deluxe-Keyboard-Stand-by-Gear4music/1OF9

Some black lycra over the top for a table, and it holds a small 2u flightcase...

Another 'hero to zero' for me.

It seems this is becomingly (sadly) increasingly common.

A great day - I was providing my 'all day' service. The air conditioned room where the ceremony and...

Every now and again, you get one of those gigs where everything just comes together nicely.

Yesterday was an all-day affair for me at a wedding that was well spec'd out.

An array of transport...

It's interesting to look at the pictures from that night. It looks like one of those events where there is plenty of entertainment BEFORE the disco, and it almost feels like the disco is there to...

What's an 'FFN'?

An awesome gig last night.

A 60th birthday - themed as a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

And wow, the decoration was incredible. An event's company provided full decoration with no expense spared. ...

So last night was the first time I've gone out on a 'last minute emergency'.

I'd like to say I'd been enjoying a relaxing day, but it was the day I'd put aside to finishing off the tax return,...

Last night was my penultimate wedding of the year, and a first for me: a silent disco.

I was originally booked as a typical disco. It was only a couple of months ago that the bride announced to...

I thought I hadn't done a Monday wedding before, by my djep reliable informs me that I did do one in Dec 2015!

Last night was a Monday wedding
Not much communication before the wedding, but...
