International Mystery Man Wedding DJ Scotland!
Well that was fun! I’ve just had three days in Glasgow ~ The Party DJ / Wedding DJ Scotland! Actually I wasn’t there to DJ I was booked to speak at a “Think Tank” event for DJ’s. I flew up with FlyBe and stayed at The Holiday Inn Glasgow airport where the event was being held – both were good and very reasonably priced.
Over 30 of us were in attendance from all over the place, as well as DJ’s from Scotland and the North of England there were also delegates from the South West and Southern England. Derek, who organised the event, now lives in Cyprus. Derek was the guy who really helped me find my new direction when I attended an event with him in February 2011, so I was delighted when he invited me to speak.
I was actually billed as a “Mystery Guest Speaker” and nobody, except Derek, knew I was going. I even had a silhouette with a question mark on the publicity artwork!
It had actually caused a bit of a stir as people tried to guess who the mystery man was. Thankfully when I was revealed nobody booed or threw things.
There were three other great speakers, all good friends of mine, and the reaction from the attendees was brilliant. First up Ian spoke on “20 Reasons’s Why Other DJ’s Are Stealing Your Clients”. I was next sharing my story and talking about the WOW events I hold. After lunch Martin presented “Weddings – Day In The Life” and finally Euan spoke, his topic was “Background Music Friend Or Foe”. Throughout the day there was plenty of time for questions and the afternoon was rounded off with the four of us giving our thoughts on a number of other topics raised by the attendees.
Ian, Euan, Martin and the delegates
Derek knew I wasn’t keen to speak locally because I’m not really happy sharing with all of my competitors, but the trip to Scotland was great fun and I may be tempted to speak again – I wonder if he has any DJ’s in the Balearics who’d be up for a Think Tank?
You know you’re in Scotland when there’s a Mars bar on your drinks tray, Irn Bru in the mini bar and haggis with breakfast
If you are a DJ looking for training you need to speak to Derek, contact me and I’ll put you in touch.
So, I will probably never be Paul The Wedding DJ Scotland but hopefully I’ve helped some of my colleagues to join in my campaign to stamp out boring weddings!
