DJ... pft, I Fart In Your General Direction

Christmas party season is over for another year, and what a fantastic time I had in the Kerrydale Suite at Glasgow Celtic!

My first post Xmas parties blog will not, however, be about the parties… I’ll get to that in the next one.

I was working with the wonderful Waterfront again this year. The basis of this blog entry is on a conversation I had with the sensationally talented lead singer from Waterfront – Mairi-Clare Maloy.

This follows on from the previous two blog, slightly tongue in cheek, but there’s definitely plenty of realism in it.

I’d often thought that it’s just DJs that people think they can talk to however they want, often in a belittling and condescending manner. However, Mairi-Clare, who has a very well regarded full-time occupation, mentioned that people talk in the same manner to bands as well.

I did feel for Waterfront as people tried to get up the stage and dance as they were performing! Imagine that happened in any other workplace!

The classic example relates to my previous post of… play this, everyone will love it! If you don’t play that all important request, because your experience and common sense tells you that it won’t work, it somehow gives the person permission to hurl abuse at you.

It’s not just confined to when you’re at a party though. A good example happened to me only a few days ago. I’d liked a Facebook page, which I will not name, but it was wedding related.

Like the kind hearty and friendly soul I am, I post a nice wee welcome message there. The reply, from one of the page administrators, astonished me. It read:

“I hope you don't do those lasers that burn our camera sensors!”

Now, that is hardly an open armed welcome from a page administrator. Interestingly enough, as a wedding specialist, we understand that a laser show is not appropriate for a wedding. However, our stunning ambient Mood Lighting is perfect for weddings.

In truth, the amount of guests I get talking to me in this manner is few and far between.  So, I can now take my tongue out my cheek and resume normal business with my next blog and beyond.

Remember, be nice to your DJ and/or band, we’re just there to make sure everyone has a great time.

Uplighting

I'm delighted to say that Disco Therapy have now added venue uplighting to its services.

Uplighters can change the look of any function room or marquee by adding vibrant colour up the function walls or marquee lining.

This is a brilliant idea for weddings, we can match the colours to your colour scheme, which gives a really personal and stunning effect.

We use the latest LED technology as uplighters, which are low in power and rich in colour. LED uplighters are much safer to use than the traditional Parcan uplighters as they give off very little heat and use minimal amout of energy.

You can choose to have the lights set to static colours, or we can make them part of the light show when the Disco gets going!

Thank You Flat Steve

We're sad to say that the man that made the Disco Therapy website a reality, Stephen McCann (aka Flat Steve) is moving to Canada for 6 months. We'll certainly miss him whilst he's away, he's a salt of the earth kind of guy.

Stephen is a very talented designer, please check out some of his work http://www.flatsteve.com/

From me, Stevie E, thank you Stephen for making Disco Therapy a reality and I hope you have a smashing time in Canada.
