HELLO!
just wanted to give you my take on this because this is a hard one, thats why I dont do this no more but if you want my experience, for what its worth, Ive been doing this for over 35 years, started in my Mum and Dads hotel at 16 and its a ball ache!
But if you are going to do this you need well know chart fodder, not just from now but things like Band Of Gold, Freda Payne, loads of Motown, The Proclaimers, total cheese, Girls wanna have fun, The Rolling Stones the list is endless. Dont take the request thing that they will do to serious, if you dont have what they gonna do and also drunk people, well people dont have any idea about music, if they dont know it they will not dance, lol!
I did a mates 40th last Friday, they hated soul, funk ext and one girl said have you got Justin B, no I said, then I thought you were a dj, yes I am I said, well what do you play, I play Disco, soul and funk and dance music, good she said you must have the Abba Mega Mix, SIGH! Never again.
Just be prepared and good luck.”(
