fairly extensive library). I really don't see what the problem is with occasionally saying NO to a customer, even in this day and age (since when could anyone take umbridge with a polite apology). I certainly don't view it as being sanctimonious or elitist, it's just that I'm willing to draw a line.
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.

A man of wise words and I agree.

Just to verify things
Theo whom says I am not currently busy now???? I do DJ work as well as Mobile Disco work as well as karaoke work?? and to top it off I also do Club and Pub work as well as private functions....
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.

Steady on Darren, that means you're also agreeing with an old fogey like me.
