0:00 I think there is a better place we all should try to find

I think there is a better place we all should try to find. We all need good times. Well, I'll give you a good time. We all need... I've got a gig log for you. By the way, you're listening to a track by Sullivan, a track entitled Cloud Dancer. Awesome. Open up your heart and you will find my chase. You can join me here now without moving place. Close your eyes and listen as the music takes control. I've got a 21st birthday party, which is in between Oswestry and Welshpool in Paris. Gonna pick up Dave, Organic 1966. Well if not. Nice. Jonathan, what have you got to say for yourself? Well we've turned that into a marquee. Basically no room at all. That table there was set up on the dance floor and

2:36 It's like I've always said, you've got to try and basically make do

It's a bit awkward really, but it's like I've always said, you know, expect to be unexpected, which we are expecting. So what I'm going to do, I mean normally the projector would be there, I mean it might actually work if it's there, it might work. I might have to put it there, or maybe when that table's gone I can go out a little bit But then if you look, the dance floor isn't that big. And of course, I could have set up there or across there. But, you know, the trouble is you just don't know. So it's like I've always said, you've got to try and basically make do. So we'll pause the camera and the next one will be when it's all set up and it might look good. Here we go, filming this day. We didn't have much room behind there, did we?

6:26 Yeah, that's quite bizarre actually because I thought it was relativel

No, but, alright, now then, I want you to tell everyone, alright, and I want you to swear on your other half's life what the lady said at the end of it. Great disco. And she said about the noise. Yes, the noise. Very nice low level, not too loud, everybody could hear what was going on, all good. Yeah, that's quite bizarre actually because I thought it was relatively loud. But she did say that it wasn't that loud. So, I don't know. Proves the point, doesn't it really? That if you don't have it too loud... Is she dead though? She came up and said nice volume. No one complained. So, there you go. That's better. And I want to say strange crowd. It was a good crowd. But I find... It's going blurry but you don't really have to look, just listen.

It was the 21st and I expected a lot of young people, but it was mainly the older generation wasn't it? And I think it just proves a point. I think Dave said as well, well no you actually said not me, is you need to go all different styles of music because you never know you could get in a situation like we were in tonight where it was generally the older generation. And for any new DJs out there who feel they can get away with just playing the latest tunes, you're wrong really, aren't you? You've got to have a wide variety of music. And it's possibly, as I've said before I'm sure, it's always a very good idea to try and hook up with another DJ who's been in the industry quite a long time and see how they work. Hold on. So anyway, it was a good bit of fun and do you want to take us out Dave?

Thank you, mate.
