Help required in regards to music?

[FUSION X16XE]

Im starting to do mobile as i have enough equipment and i could be making even more monies doing weddings and the such, most of my music is garage and house and i cant see many people at weddings wanting to listen to that so could you give me a list of the sort of songs that would be acceptable at a wedding/older function :thumb:

Cheese, cheese and more cheese...

Play some 80s cheese and stick the odd thrash metal track or suchlike in lol

Depends on the audience tbh. Some younger couples may prefer some dance music. I'd say make up a few track lists in different styles of music and then you can give the customer a choice as to what they want played.

[FUSION X16XE]

Yer thats exactly what im after the dreaded cheese! lol

Do you guys think you could write down some tracks that i can go and buy?

80's hits ones are usually a winner too.. duran duran, culture club, wham, that kinda thing :D

Idealy i would like cds, not downloads as then i can say some info from the sleeve and at least make it look like i know what im talking about lol

A different way of doing it... at my mates wedding in december, the bride and groom have asked for each guest to write down 2 songs of their choice. They then pass this on to the DJ and hopefully enough songs will have been chosen to fill the night. Makes your life abit easier.

[large_steve182]

i have 100 best hits of the 80;s
100 hip hop hits of the 90;s
best of the 80;s
grease soundtrack
guitar hero 80s rock
NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY soundtrack (awesome)

some 80s rock and power ballads would go down a treat. all fails put some slipknot on or something

[Southie]

How about this badboy lol

Look out for a local record fair or keep an eye out for anyone one selling up their DJ stuff in local freeads etc. Usually a load of records FS in our local one.

Aswell as the obvious, theres always requests from old folk for 60's & 70's aswell swing & waltz etc. (been to a few bad parties in my time)

I have to say I envy you though, doing DJ work has appealed to me for years but never put the effort or funds into it.

Great way to meet chicks when you are young too, doing all those 18th birthdays & weddings etc.

[Pistol Pete]

I think aswell, once the drink is flowing and everyone is in that party mood, as long as its a good song everyone will have a boogie!!

Well, it does for me lol

[craig green]

Atleast we got our own DJ for the PNG AGM.

[FUSION X16XE]

Craig the women love it lol and i love it coz they love it (if that makes sense)

And for the next PNG AGM youve got me and Si (simps) and if need be you can bring along some of your 60s and swing lol

Im going to have a look on gaybay tonight and see what i can find.

Cheers lads, if any one wants to add more to this thread feel free :thumb:
