Dj Tutor gig log, Walcot Hall

0:00 Hi folks, it's Jonathan here, another gig vlog for you

Hi folks, it's Jonathan here, another gig vlog for you. Today is Saturday and it's about 10 to 2 in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to see my older daughter today. I've just sent her a text message and she said yeah, she'd like to see me but at 2 o'clock. The trouble is, if she ever watches this, I'm about an hour and a half away from Newtown and there is no way on God's planet I can actually get to Newtown. By 2 o'clock, do apologise. Anyway, today I'm working in a place called Walcott Hall, which is sort of Churchstoke area, which is sort of Newtown, Mid Wales, that kind of place. Never been there before, it's a wedding and we'll see what happens. Hold on, there's a horse. So right, OK, I'll pause this now and maybe we'll do a bit of filming in Mid Wales Music, which is quite a nice music shop.

Phil there is a bit of an old lad like. He's a complete nutter like me, but he's got his head screwed on and he's a nice chap. I just contradicted myself there, didn't I? Because I was thinking nutter. No, he's not a nutter actually, he's just mad. But Phil, if you ever watch this, I'm sure you will, you come out with some very, very good jokes sometimes, but you also come out with some absolutely crap jokes, just like me. Alright, hold tight. Oh, you're pointing at backwards. Yeah, say hello. Bonjour! This is Phil, this is my uncle. And we're in Midwells Music in Newtown and I would say it's the best music shop in Newtown. Right, this is Midwells Music and this is a selection of a few of the lights they've got. And PA-wise, this is their second-hand selection.

1:57 My satellite navigation system

All right folks, here now at Walcott Hall and I'd just like to show you my satellite navigation system. Here it is. This is it. It's basically my interpretation of a map. There you go. Right let's see what's happening over here then.

Thank you for having me. Right, we're at the hall now folks and apart from the disco we have some outside entertainers as well so take it away my friend. Yeah, hi, I'm Polly Joy, I'm part of the Shrewsbury Circus Arts Club. We're part of the Arts Access Group, getting people access to the arts all around Shropshire and Wales and yeah, that's it really. So tell us what you're going to do for everyone this evening. Well, we're going to let people have a try with juggling, devil sticks, Diablo. Excellent. So presumably it'll be for the kids early on in the evening and then later on the adults will probably join in. I hope so. Right, let's see a card trick. A card trick? Yes, go on, go for it. What's your name first of all? My name's Adam Evans and I'm a magician and I'm going to try and entertain and vanish lots of stuff.

4:40 I missed that, that was pretty good

Including the punters if they're ignorant. Yes, yes. Go on, go for it. Okay, choose any card you like. I'm going to choose that one. Right, show the camera. Okay. Obviously so you know what it is as well. Right. Okay, just put your card on there. That's perfect. Okay, now it doesn't matter if I know what your card is. So your card in this case was the ten of diamonds, is that right? Yes. It's on top of this packet here. If I use this packet, just push your card in. I'll even push your card in here, but to make it fair, just push the card in yourself. That's good. And that gives you an idea... I missed that, that was pretty good. That was pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty good and if anyone knows how to do that then leave a comment underneath but you mustn't really say should you? And if you just blow on your card for me. Pretty good, pretty good. Well there you go, so lots of fun and games later on folks and they're still in there waffling with speeches and it is now 20 to 8 and I've been contracted to start at 8 o'clock so goodness knows how that's going to happen and all my kit

He's sat outside over there and luckily we have not got a cloud in the sky for the first time in about, what, a month? Or just over a month I should imagine, yeah. Alright then, back in a mo'. Alright this is where I'm playing, it's quite a big room actually and I was told it was small but there you go.

5:53 I've only got small speakers, typical, but never mind, music that matt

So I've only got small speakers, typical, but never mind, music that matters. There's one big carpet. Bet no-one messes with you, do they? Not really, not when I've got all the land with me anyway. That's OK. Right, so there you go, another gig. As you can see, I'm absolutely sweating pints because I've just carted stuff through half a garden and you can't see where you're going. I suppose hindsight, I should have used the light off this particular camera, but there you go, never mind. Well, I was only supposed to go till 12, ended up going through till 1 o'clock and got a tip, which you should have done anyway for doing the extra hour. But yeah, good fun, thoroughly enjoyed themselves, played a complete... Sorry, it's because I've been out in the dark, now I'm being blinded here. Completed different sort of eclectic variety of music.

And they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and now I've got to drive back about, how far am I? It's about a two and a half hour drive, something like that, couple of hours, steady pace. 500 mile an hour, Mr Mechanic, and speak to you soon. Practice and enjoy.
