0:00 You're probably wondering why I'm wearing this silly hat

Alright folks, you're probably wondering why I'm wearing this silly hat. Well the reason being is because it's very... Alright, I'm just being silly. You're probably wondering why I've got bits of toilet paper shoved up my nose. Well, I've got hay fever. Exceedingly bad hay fever. To the extent where my nose is the equivalent of a cold and hot tap. The only difference between my nose There's a light screen. Sorry, not a light screen. It's an LED screen and also a nice little piece of kit from Denon. Anyway, hold tight and I'll pause the camera. That's where we set up. What do you think about that? An LED star cloth. Wicked. Trouble is, as usual, can't use the smoke machine tonight because loads of bloody fire alarms. Typical. There you go. And that's where the band is. That area just over there, that's where the stairs are.

1:47 Something interesting for you here today

So I've had to put a speaker on the floor, but I've got it actually against the pillar so theoretically it shouldn't be able to be knocked over. And then I've got the other one up there. So we've got the LED messenger up there, I've got a couple of the old lasers and let's see what else we can chuck up there. Knackered. We're way back now. Once again, another night, this time we're in Aberairon. Okay, something interesting for you here today. Tonight, good gig, crowd enjoyed themselves, band. Thank you for watching. Now tonight it was in a hotel and there were people sleeping upstairs. Now apparently I was annoying them because of the noise, because of the bass. Two ways of looking at that. One is that if you or let's say me or whoever, if we were just the entertainment for that whole evening and we were getting complaints then that's fair enough because it's just us. But what managers, hoteliers have got to understand is that nine times out of ten the disco will finish the night.

If you've got a band during the course of the evening and they're quite loud, and then the disco finishes, and of course the disco finishes about 1 o'clock, by about 12 everyone's going to start to complain. And of course, 9 times out of 10, they blame the disco! Now they blame me tonight because it was too loud. Okay, I might have been too loud. But, the band were loud as well, so probably what's happened is that the band were very loud and they got, you know, the people sleeping annoyed. And finally, the people sleeping or trying to sleep and had enough. And then they complained. And of course, who did they complain to? They complained to the DJ. So one thing here, one pointer, and that is to anyone who owns a hotel, you know, at the end of the day, you've got to take into consideration it's everyone's fault. And also any DJs out there who are ever going to be in this position, you must stress that to the management.

Thank you for watching. Anyway, listen, practice and enjoy. Thank you for watching. Take care.
