A gig log and a vlog / Johnathan the Dj tutor

0:00 Both kids finished school today

Right folks, it's Jonathan here. Now I haven't done a vlog in a while and this is a gig I'm going to, so this is a gig vlog, a giggy vlog, a gvlog, there you go. Right, now then, today I'm on my way to Brynroddin Caravan Park which is in Borth and I've done a few functions there. And I'm booked during the course of the year, or the summer holidays, just to do a few functions. And it's the start of the kids' school holiday. Well, both kids finished school today. And theoretically, if it was a nice sunny day, there'd be a lot of people there at the campsite. But God knows, it's absolutely peanut down. But anyway, put that aside. What's been going on? Well... Liaising with DJ Mag as we speak to continue the DJ Mag Micromix and to take it hopefully to new levels. Excuse me, and the idea is what we want to do is have it as an ongoing competition. Now at the moment, of course, there's been two and a lot of people have, after the second one, were saying like, you know, when's the next one? When are we going to find out when...

You know, if we've won. When are we going to find out who's in the top 10? When does the next one start? You know, etc, etc. So what we want to basically do is something that is pretty cool and that is it will be an ongoing competition. In other words, let's say for example, competition one will start today, which it's not going to start today, I'm giving you a generalization. Say it will start today and it will finish, say, in a month's time. So any mixes put forward in that month will be We'll get put forward to competition number one. But the second competition number one finishes, then competition number two will start. So basically you can just throw your mixes in any time and you will be entered into a competition. But again logically what you have to consider is that only one entry per person, okay? So if for example let's say you've got a decent mix and you feel that's good enough to enter the competition, put it

2:45 This hopefully, cross fingers, will be run continually through DJ Maga

In the DJ Mag Micro Mix training ground, people can view it, give you comments, you know, and then you'll get a general idea. And then if you think, yeah, I'm getting good comments, good responses, and bearing in mind, the irony is that if it is very good, you may get negative comments because you have got a lot of jealous people out there. So, of course, you put your mix in there and then if you think, yeah, I'm getting a good response, then all you need to do is bung that in the actual competition, alright? This hopefully, cross fingers, will be run continually through DJ Magazine as well. What else can I say? Apart from the fact that it's absolutely tipping it down. Oh, camera's going dodgy over there. Right, I've got a party on tomorrow night but that's at my house and that's a private party by the way. So it's my belated 40th birthday party and I've got a whole bunch of friends coming around

And we're going to have music and lights and all that sort of stuff, and I shall be doing a bit of videoing. And you may see me completely steaming, but what the heck? I mean, it's all a bit of fun, isn't it? This is what it's all about. Right, what we'll do when we get to the actual gig, or just prior to, I'm going to stop the car and I'm going to show you a little bit of scenery, and you can see Borth from the top of the hill. Well, there it is folks, there's Borth. And there's the monument. I'm sure I've done this video before but put it this way, it's better to have two of these in 700 videos as opposed to one. I used to live sort of around that sort of area but Borth's built on a spit and you never know, it may be reclaimed by the sea one day. Normally you can see lots of lovely mountains over there.

But today you can see absolutely nothing because the camera's getting wet now. And there you go. And the actual campsite is just... Well, that campsite there is next to the one I'm playing at. But the campsite is sort of just nestled underneath the hill there. So we'll go and take a look. Right, that there is the new building for the campsite.

4:54 I haven't got this to date

That's where the entertainment and I think they put the reception, etc. bar, that sort of thing in there. A lovely day. It's July. Nice. I haven't got this to date. Instead of bringing loads of different kit, just this should do. Plug into that mixer there and then down into that amp so all I've got to do is bring my CD player, microphone, headphones and music. Pretty cool. Right here we are, we're actually inside the club now and I'd like to introduce you to some regulars. Here they are. That's what we look like. And you come here every weekend, don't you? Absolutely. Can you just tell the viewers out there about the lovely weather we've got? Well, it's pretty poor today, but... It's nice. Apparently this gentleman was out sunbathing just before he went for a swim in the sea and he'll be sunbathing later on tomorrow, won't you? That's not true.

7:23 In the middle of the summer, it does, doesn't it?

So what do you think of the show so far then? Excellent, brilliant. And how about you, what do you think of the show so far? Yeah. Alright, how about some names? So where are you all from then? Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury. Yeah. And you, like I said, you come here every single week, don't you? Yes. And it's, I mean at the end of the day, Borth's a bit of a quiet place but it's nice here, isn't it? Pretty good, yeah. Yeah? And you've got to admit, you know, this place does get rocking about. Well, it does. In the middle of the summer, it does, doesn't it? Exactly. There's the boss. Say hello, boss. Okay, she's gone. Boss is gone. Ah, she's going as well. Look! Bar lady. Say hello, bar lady. No, she's gone. Alright, folks, this is Detective Chief Inspector Shrek. And...

Excuse me, would you like to tell the viewers please what you think of this place and, you know, what you think of Borth in general and the nightclub? I think Borth is absolutely Boston. Good. And this site is the best site I've been on in years. Thank you very much. It is good, isn't it? Actually, yeah, I really do. We loved it. When it came for a week last year from Bob and... Anyway, they've got a caravan in the other field. I'm filming. They've got a fan in the other field. He's famous anyway. Go on, he's famous, he is, yeah. When did you go green? Hold on, Eddie Murphy's around the corner. Don't go with me! I'd just like to say as well, ladies and gentlemen, and that is that that gentleman there, right, at the moment, he's stone cold sober. What? During the course of the evening, he does change. No! No, bless him. Alright guys, yes it was very quiet tonight, exceedingly quiet but

There you go. You know, you have your busy nights and you have your blinking quiet nights and tonight was very, very, very quiet but mainly because the weather. Weather's just absolutely atrocious. So, C'est la vie. You know, you do your job. A lot of people were happy because I played like a lot of rock tonight and that's what they wanted so I carried on playing it and again, you know, they were tapping their feet listening to it. A couple of people after the gig said yeah great, love the music which is what it's all about. Just so long as the punters are happy and enjoy themselves, that's what matters. Anyway, thanks for watching. Plenty more where these came from as well, so take it easy and practice and enjoy.
