Gig log Lakeside Suite Albrighton Hall Shrewsbury

0:00 Dave, so where are we now?

Alright Dave, so where are we now? Albrighton Hall. And we're in the lakeside suite, or not yet, we're in that dodgy van aren't we? In a very dodgy van. It is, alright, actually it was peeing it down earlier on, back home when I got into the van, your door there was a pool of water in the little footwell. Anyway, there it is, I think that's the building, so we're going to go and have a look inside. Oh, I fancy meeting you here mate. Hello, I've seen you before haven't I? Here we go folks, this has got to be a first. That is an electric tree. Look, it's got a plug attached to it. Yes. Well, I'm in that room over there and there's another disco taking place tonight as well so we'll have a chat with the other chap later on. Never mind. That's just in case. Right, they're in there now and they're doing speeches. So Dave, are we all set up?

We are ready to go, yeah. And it's now coming up 10 to 9 and we've got a big RCF Event 6000 there with a couple of lights. We've got Star Cluster on there and we've got LED light as well. I've got the stand with that lot and another one over there. And some lights on a T-bar up there. And that, I don't know where I'm going to put that here, that's the Mystic LED. Got an oil wheel, got an optokinetic oil wheel, that's pretty good. And a spare CD. And we shall see what happens. Right, here we are Dave, I'm going to go now. We've got another DJ here tonight haven't we? We have, yes. So I'm going to take you on a tour of the place and we're going to go and see the other DJ. Follow me, here we go. Right, we've got to go this way, through one of these doors.

2:36 Oh, you won't get it straight away, you will

All right, gentlemen. The person that sang this song and also the name of the lead character on this TV series. Oh, you won't get it straight away, you will. So happy, Dave? It's early, isn't it, mate? Because the thing is what's happened is basically there's loads of floods around here and the whole evening I think is about an hour. Behind schedule, so it's now half past nine. They haven't even had the buffet yet. When we arrived they'd only just started eating as well and that was the main dinner during the day. But it's no one's fault, it's just down to the weather etc. So they're getting the buffet ready and we'll see what happens shortly. What's your name sir? Andy, Andy Waters. Andy. And what's your name madam? Steph. And you're known now as Steph who? Steph Ketzer. Steph Hill. You've got to get that right.

And right, we've got the first dance very shortly. Now can you tell everyone what sort of music are you into? Hard trance, acid techno, anything with a beat, funky house mainly. Excellent, alright. Well hopefully tonight what we'll be able to do is play some good classic house tracks that everyone knows and get some boogieing, is that right? Yeah, that's the one mate. Alright, so we'll do your first dance very shortly. Nice one, nice one.

7:46 Are we packing up, Dave?

Are we packing up, Dave? Packing up, yes. Packing up. Dave, what's happening? Well, what I've got to say now is that you don't have to have the best kit in the world. Correct. Our setup wasn't fantastic. Well, I don't know, I mean, to be quite honest, I suppose the irony is, alright, I've got like almost some of the best CD players you can get, but to do this sort of event You don't need the best kit in the world, you could just have a cheap CD player, anything. The other DJ had all the posh gear and everything but I had a look and we had more punters on our dance floor. I know, I mean one of the first gig logs I did, is it this way? Down here somewhere isn't it? No, round isn't it? Well the first gig log I did was basically really cheap and cheerful gear, it was...

You know, the CD player was like 99 quid, but which way are we going now? We're going that way, aren't we? Yeah. But what can I say? That was something. The only reason, by the way, I'm using the camera like this now is because this is not a main road, guys, so don't worry about it. Yeah, I mean... Oh, no, there, isn't it? Yep. So, that's it. Cheap gear and it was still a good night. The first ever gig log I did. And this one was good fun. At the end of the day, it's about trying to get people to enjoy themselves, isn't it? It is. Alright, nice one. What are you going to finish off with? Yeah, practice and enjoy. Nice one, thank you Dave.
