Good Gig, Bad Gig.

I have to say well done Charlie.
I do two discos a year for a special needs school and as you said, it's great. They appreciate everything and absolutely love it and it humbles you.

had a wedding last night, meant to have 180 guests, actually had about 100. Was in a venue that insists their sound system is used, which is not loud enough and sounds terrible.
Decent amount of dancing and requests thoughout the evening but, as often happens with 1am weddings, a lot of guests started leaving 11.30 onwards. By 12.30 i had just 20 left.
bridge & groom were happy and a few cards went out, so im happy, but i wish people would finish weddings at 12.

I would agree with that. Unless it's a really jumping night. But I think you get a better finish with everyone still there at 12, rather than people drifting away if it's a 1am finish.

My Wedding last Saturday was like that, in fact it looked like people expected it to finish at 1am. I've had Weddings finish at 3am and everyone has stayed and wanted to carry on it just depends on the guests themselves really.

Ah...I'd forgotten about this. So, did a surprise 50th for one of my best friends on Friday night. It was so much of a surprise that by 1600 his other half still hadn't told me what was happening in terms of start times, playing times etc.! Anyway, mad rush from work in Leicester during Friday evening rush hour traffic to Belper, and arrive at the venue still in my work clothes, and barely on time. I knew I was working with a band beforehand, but despite asking, hadn't got their contact details. Anyway, they'd taken up every square centimetre of the stage-type area (though it wasn't raised)...so my options were in front of the bar or in front of a fire escape. I had a bit of a moan, and they squish up a bit. I load in, set up in the smallest space (my crossbar is touching a wall at one side, with a speaker in front of it) and have to have the most asymmetrical light show because of this. So, all rigged up, just need to add a little electricity...but my extension has disappeared!! I knew I'd brought it in from the car...thought I was losing my mind....until I noticed it. To the side of the drum kit. With a couple of guitar amps plugged into it!!! Cheeky !! Wound me up a treat...

Last night was a wedding at a really stunning location (http://www.osmastonpark.com/weddings.aspx). Turned into a bit of a heavy night, songs of the night were "Killing In The Name" - Rage Against the Machine, and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana. Turned into a brilliant night. Incidentally, just want to say thanks to Booche, who sent this bride my way.

Sorry I missed this. I asked if it was theirs, and they claimed it was the venue's...until I pointed out a couple of grass clippings inside the spool as I'd used it to do the lawn the evening before. In fairness, they were very polite and apologetic.

Great gig last night,it was a wedding reception at a rugby club.The bride was polish,so alot of her family and friends were there.Right from the first dance untill the last song i always had a full dancefloor,everyone was up for a good party.songs from the 1980s along with some current tunes were very popular.

I am having a night of tonight due to the fact that i dont have any bookings.

I was there earlier this year lovely place. Got one there next year with 22 x12 Starlight floor & full uplighting. Did they plug you into the mobile sound limiter?

Incidentally, just want to say thanks to Booche, who sent this bride my way.

And I'd like to inform Booche that the price of the mixer has just gone up
