Glenda’s 50th Birthday Party

/0 Comments/in , /by


Who would have believed Norm’s little sis’ could be 50!

A quick video of Glenda’s 50th Birthday Party, held upstairs at the Slug & Lettuce in Winchester. As you will see it was fancy dress with Glenda hosting as Wonder Woman, and Mike as Buzz Lightyear and Lou (of Little Britain’s Lou & Andy fame). Brilliant costumes, great turn out, good times!

Glenda had selected over 5 hours of the music in advance and I did my best to fit in as many as possible – can you identify the tracks in the video?

Thanks everyone who made it such a great night.

Help Me Find A Venue ~ Please

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Last week I did this YouTube video, it’s aimed at venues who want to book a DJ who really cares about delivering great service. I’ve emailed it to most of the venues local to me and it’s been watched a few times, but so far no response.

If you know someone who might be interested please forward it to them, thanks.

Party Planning Tips For DJ’s And Clients

/0 Comments/in , /by

I originally started this video as a reply to a video Ellaskins (Jonathan) did on the DJ Tutor www.djtutor.com site asking DJ’s to share tips on how to make New Years Eve a success. So I gathered my thoughts and added some footage from my NYE gig and this is the result.

Although it’s based on New Years Eve I believe it is still relevant to all the function work any DJ does.

I think you’ll find stuff of interest whether you are another DJ or a potential client. It’s all about attention to detail – don’t just blag it – think about it in advance and plan it.

Please post your feedback, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe if you’d like me to continue with these videos.

Cheers, Paul

A Taste Of Summer

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s all a bit manic at the moment getting ready for my run of Christmas Diner Dances at the DeVere Grand Harbour Hotel and Saturday’s Wedding for Cath and Paul, so I haven’t had a chance to do any new videos this week. The weather has turned wintery earlier than usual – much of the country has snow, but not us – yet!

So, here’s a video we shot at the beginning of Summer for Mark’s 50th Birthday party to remind us all of what lovely weather we can look forward to. It was a great event with a lovely group of people and the very talented Ellie Price.

Here’s a video Directed by Mark’s son James of Ellie’s track “Pencilled in”

Ellie Price singing her brilliant, original song, ‘Pencilled In’ in a music video. Directed by James Harding as part of a Gold Arts Award Project. Hope you like it!

Here’s my second video of thoughts which may help when planning a Wedding – or any function with a band or disco.

Before you watch I just want to say I don’t have all the answers – but what I’m trying to do with these videos is share my experience and give you food for thought.

Also, I’m not really this grumpy – honest ;o)

Anyway, here it is. Please let me have your feedback. It would be great if you give the video a thumbs up on YouTube, and you may wish to check out our other videos.

Saturday Morning post

Just a quick update …

Last night we did Mark’s 40th at the Rosebowl – great fun – more on that later.


Tonight Joe launches his new brand “DJ Zeph Taylor” at Harriet’s 18th. We’re really looking forward to this one – it’s been in the diary for a long time. Then on Sunday Joe get’s to play a club set for the first time. Hopefully we’ll have more on both of these gigs for you too!


I also wanted to give you a quick heads up for next Saturday when I’m back at the Concorde Club.
Admission is for Concorde Club members and their guests only as always, but I know some of you are members, or have friends who are members, so why not join me.

Oh, and still no call for the Royal Wedding.

OMG it’s Tuesday!

If your planning a Wedding, Tuesdays has been a great night for TV over recent months – today is no exception! Starting at 9pm on Living ( Sky 112 & Virgin 109 – and HD for posh people) is Four Weddings, where four brides generally make a total mess of their big day … maybe that’s a bit harsh.

It’s a great format where the four brides get to go to each others wedding and score it, the bride with the best score wins a fabulous honeymoon. In the past the programme has focused on UK and US brides, the new series is four brides from four different countries. * Well the first week was – this weeks episode was all UK Brides again.

You’ll find repeats of old shows throughout the week on Living – beware it’s addictive. You may get some ideas, you’ll definitely learn from their mistakes.
