Last night a guy came up and said to my assistant "the bride just came over and wants lots of cheese music". My assistant had been standing there for an hour and she had not gone near the guy. Politics are also fun, had a couple of rather large irate guests at the end as i had not played his track (just done strip and had his tatted muscle clad body out on show). I obliged as one of the last tracks (dancing in the dark). Would have got some hassle there, and it worked too.

Bit of a moment there Toby. Twas jest, mock affrontery, no more. I rather enjoyed flexing a few brain cells there, and don't forget I lived my formative years with so many of those bands.

Amen, Brother Justin, amen. How many times has someone assured you that it will be hilarious, and everyone will be rolling on the floor laughing?
So you play it, and guest(s) of honour look daggers at you. Been there done that. Not at all nice.

I love the Wurzels, me and my friends go and see them every year and have a few ciders and dance like prats. Some people will turn their noses up at it and go mental for S Club 7... Hmmm ... Hmmm...

Blackbird, I'll 'av 'ee.
We had Combine Harvester as our walk down the aisle as we left our wedding.
