A Wedding Gig Log in Aberystwyth

DJ business Stage 8: The DJ Business November 2023

Contents of the video

So working with a band tonight, not much room but set up very simple. Just got the one sub. You know again you've always got to try and accommodate yourself with the space you've got. You don't always have ample room so you've got to make do sometimes. Tonight's venue ladies and gentlemen. Overlooking Aberystwyth. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Short gig log for you today. And it's not night time and I'm not wearing my kit that I normally would wear at a wedding. It's the following day because last night I was absolutely shattered. I just wanted to get home. But anyway, a very good evening actually. Like me, you're a DJ and you do weddings. I'd like to know in a comment whether you too find that you seem to be playing very little new music. No one asked for anything modern at the event. Absolutely no one. I played the classic tracks, dance floor was bubbling, people were happy, it was a great atmosphere and that's all you want. So what do you think?

Do you have to play modern music at your wedding gigs? And again, a lot of it is dependent, of course, on what the crowd wants. The bride and the groom, maybe they do like modern day music. But, you know, I mean, I've been in this business for a very long time and I found time and time again, if you just play the classics, Mums and Dadsies tracks, you know, Tamla Motown, A Bit of Northern Soul, you know, your Michael Jackson, your ABBA, stuff like that, you can't go wrong. Thank you for watching. Practice. And enjoy. Thank you
