Gig log, Garden party Aug 2010

0:02 Apparently tents like this cost about 60 or 70 quid

Oh, hi. I've got a garden party today and I've got my right-hand man Dave helping out in the marquee in the middle of Wales and everything's hunky-dory. Apparently tents like this cost about 60 or 70 quid. I think I'm going to get one of these because it's fair dues, Dave. It's not bad, is it, for the price? I mean, you know. I mean, Frank, you could have a wicked party here. As you can see, it's a 30th birthday party.

Let's see what happens. Not exactly the biggest setup in the world, but you know it's a small garden party so don't need a lot plus the fact we've got a few houses quite close by so I've got the Gemini GVX powered speakers 15 and a horn adequate Dave's on a mission couple of other fuzzy balloons in the corner well middle over there and then nice carpet needs to clean though I don't like the colour though. There you go, right. Right, here we go. Dave and I are doing a garden party in the middle of Wales, and a bit of a tip for you. Again, people are probably going to say, oh well it doesn't happen at my garden party because we all dance. Well, we do dance, but generally in garden parties people like to just sort of like talk and drink. So, let's have a look. Party, party. Do the billy, billy. There you go. It's hard to do it.

2:36 The billy, do the billy

The billy, do the billy. Ready? Ready? Ready? You do realise, by the way, let me tell you... Go on, carry it, go on, go on then. Can I just inform you this is going on the web? Babs, don't step me. Not that bit. Josie! I've had a bit of John. Bit of genius John. Bit of genius John. No, that's you. Turn it around yourself. Oh, people don't want to see me. I got you already. Got you already. Oh dear me. You've dripped your drunk. So we were just... No, hold on guys. We were just explaining that... That is a bit like vinegar, isn't it? It is, yeah. How much was it from Lidl? £3.99. £3.99 from Lidl? £2.99. £2.99. Oi, mister, leave my drink alone. I think actually if you're in France it sounds a bit young. Who's been to Greece? Who's been to Greece? Who's been to Greece? Me, me. I've actually had a few drinks, Dave's going to drive home. You know what?

7:33 We're supposed to finish at 11, and it's now past

So what? We're supposed to finish at 11, and it's now past. But what I said... Sorry about that request. Gangsters Paradise Cooleo. No, we've got it actually with us. But what I said is that, you know, we're happy to go on. And I said today, just play some light housey stuff. So, play house and whatnot. See how the night progresses, but... They're mainly interested in talking and drinking. Again, all house parties, garden parties are very different. Some people will go and will want to dance. Some people will go and want to just drink. Some people will want to go and talk. Some people will want to dance, drink and talk. Talk or drink, drink or dance. Well, yeah, exactly. In other words... Who bloody knows? But a lot of people are like, that direction, in the house, just talking and drinking. So we're going to enjoy ourselves. We're going to play some tunes and chill out. It's up to Dave now. When he wants to stop, we'll stop. And we'll just stop and go. But in the meantime, we'll just enjoy ourselves. He's David Amix. By the way, this guy...

9:11 Organics1966 off YouTube, go and subscribe to him

Organics1966 off YouTube, go and subscribe to him. He's a fucking good bloke. You don't hear me swear much. Sorry. God knows what the names are. Tell you in the morning. Bloody hell. Oh, crazy. So I'm allowed to be really silly. I like it when I'm pissed because I just act pretty silly. I know that. A support bloke. We all like a bit of stuff. When you see one of those on a speaker, can you see it? Bridges. Metal. They're not sharp, but metal. Cover them. Heat sink to dissipate the heat. So don't put a... No, don't do that. There's the dance floor field. Let's have a look at the people. On the web. Are you going to say anything? Nothing of use. Right, that's fine. You're going to be on the web. Are you going to say anything? Zeitgeist.com, look it up. Right, you're going to be on the web. Are you going to say anything, sir?

11:39 Hold on one second

That's fine, that's fine. Right, we're going to put this on the web. Say hello ladies. Hello ladies! Now, hold on one second. You see, we have two people here who are very similar. That's my mum. I'm trying to determine sisters or mother or daughter. Oh, don't compliment me that much, thank you. It's my mum. You're her mummy. Yeah? But you... Thank you for watching. I'm just Lucy. Sorry? I'm just Lucy. Lucy? Yeah, I'm just me. No, that's good, that's good. Right, first of all, you'll notice something slightly different here and that is that he's there and I'm here. The reason for that is I've had a couple of drinks and he hasn't so... But anyway, it's been an interesting night, it's been good fun, bit of a party and Dave, what do you reckon?

14:01 Best part, worst part, tell me

What did you enjoy? Oh yes. Best part, worst part, tell me. There wasn't any bad bits really, it was all pretty good really. It was wasn't there? Yeah. I mean the thing is with like garden parties is that people go there, I mean I think there's this sort of psychological thing about a garden party is like they sort of stand there and sort of like talk and It's not like when you're in an enclosed environment whereby people think, ooh, bar, drink and maybe have to dance. It's more laid back, chilled out, relaxed. Therefore the DJ shouldn't necessarily have to think, my God, turn right here. No, not that bit, I've told him to turn right. I must get the people to dance. So if you have that persona about you, I am here to just play music.

For you to listen to and enjoy, then the night will progress a lot more smoothly. I've even said that while I'm pissed. There is logic there. Please believe me. So, what else am I going to say? This is where the piss bits come in. I'm allowed to be pissed now. No, it was a very enjoyable evening. A wonderful crowd with a lot of fun and just... What can I say? Music is about inspiration, it's about feeling the vibe of the music you like. It's about going inside the tracks, inside the feel, inside the whole emphasis of the tones, the colours of the tracks and enjoying what you like. Don't ever, in a sense, let people say you have to like this or that or that or this. You have to like soul, you have to like hip-hop, you have to like R&B, you have to like rock or 60s. You like what you like. No one else likes what you like. You only like what you like and that is the most important thing in the world because you are you. Period.

And in Dave's words, we will finish with... Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
