Yes, he’s extremely animated, but one of my pet hates is DJs who are totally inanimate. I feel that a huge part of my job as a DJ is to impart my love for music, positivity & energy on the party guests.
I’ve seen DJs who seem to have a chair as part of their standard equipment; they’re armed with it at every function they attend, ready to plonk their bum down at the first opportunity.
Based on the video, I don’t think he’s a bad DJ in the slightest, he’s just a man who’s extremely passionate about his work.
I was having a look at a well known UK Wedding Directory website and stumbled upon the below:
“In terms of music, people in the UK tend to hire a cheesy DJ with flashing party lights and a bit of microphone banter, safe in the knowledge that he will play all the old disco favourites, from Sister Sledge to the Bay City Rollers.”
Unfortunately, articles like this do not help the perception held by the general public about DJs, especially when it is contained within a website that advertises the services of professional wedding DJ’s.
Articles like this have seen many DJ move away from calling themselves DJs and shift towards calling themselves Wedding Entertainers, MCs, Presenters, Hosts, etc.
Certainly, there is a huge spectrum of DJs within Central Scotland in terms of quality and experience, some of which definitely match the description of being ‘cheesy’ with ‘flashing lights’. However, there are also those (me included J) who dedicate a lot of time, money & effort into honing their skills, musical knowledge & ensuring that they have the best possible equipment available.
As mentioned in previous blog entries, I truly feel honoured when someone chooses me to entertain / DJ at the Wedding. When I DJ, I want people to have the best possible time & remember their wedding reception or party for all the right reasons.
The term Disco Jockey shouldn’t be something I’m embarrassed of - after all, it’s what I do. I’m also someone who cannot simply be described as someone with ‘flashing party lights’ or ‘microphone banter’. Infact the DJ industry as a whole has moved on vastly since the good old days of rope lights & light boxes.
Your wedding disco can be a classy & discrete, or as flamboyant as you want it to be. Choice within the Scottish marketplace has never been as good.
This reaffirms our commitment to, no only specialising in wedding entertainment (Mood Lighting & DJing), but also to service excellence.
In my last post I spoke about last weekends wedding at Dunphail House. For the first time in my DJing career, my client requested that I did not use any disco effect lights, just mood lights.This weekend I had a 3 hour drive up to Dunphail House, in Morayshire, for a beautifully set wedding in the Scottish Highlands.
Not even the torrential rain could dampen (excuse the pun) the sprits in the custom built marquee, which had an African theme, complete with full-scale replica elephants.
I was joined on stage by the fantastic Dunphail Dance band, who played a few reels to get the party started. After that, it was over to me. We went an hour over time, but what difference does an hour make when you’ve got a three hour driver home!?
a recent wedding I entertained at.
We recently Entertained at and Mood lit a Wonderful Wedding in The Tinto Hotel. We took the opportunity to take some pics of the beautiful Mood Lighting, which was blue to match the Brides Maid's dresses...
