...."I DO" smile.gif

Hahaha, but I continue-

I was also doing a disco for a Primary School when they stopped for a hot drinks break. The PTA behind the refreshments area very kindly also brought us a drink. 5 minutes later we restarted (still not having drunk my drink) I thought it would be fitting for the kids to give the ladies a cheer for providing the refreshments. Without thinking I picked up the Mic and got all the kids to Cheer the ladies for making "Such a wonderful cup of tea" - they did, but I was gently told after by the PTA that it was Coffee!!!.

Another more embarrassing incident came when I was setting up a large P.A rig. After doing a test, and still wearing a live headset radio mic I stooped down to adjust the EQ settings. Standing up again I cracked my head on one overheads, and the resulting swear words echoed around the event excl.gif

LOL - Given these stories - Still want to train with us Dan??? laugh.gif

At wedding receptions I always write the names of the bride & groom on a card & leave it on the mixer for the night. This time I had forgotten & the card was from the last function so I called out the wrong names!! oops.gif

wasn't what I said, but what the song said...

About 8 years ago at a wedding the groom (who was a massive bloke, about 6ft 5 and built like a pro-boxer) had asked me to play Prince-"The most beautiful girl", which I have on cd single. The wedding ceremony & reception were all in a hotel banqueting room, and he wanted the Prince track played as the two of them walked in the room to get married.
A few minutes b4 they were due to walk in I decided to cue up the track. The single wasn't in the singles case, but then I remembered I'd left it at home cos it was on the Greatest hits triple cd. So I went to the 1st cd of the greatest hits, but it wasn't on there, so looked at the 2nd cd, nope not on there, hmm, must be on cd3. I suddenly came to the horrible realisation that it wasn't on any of them, there's now only a few minutes till they walk in. Obviously not enough time to go home to pick up the cd single, but I'm gonna have to play something. Then someone calls over to me that the couple are making their way to the hall and they'll be here any minute:!:
I'm now frantic, what the hell am I gonna play? OK, relax, think straight... I know, I can play Commodores-3 times a lady. That's a nice romantic message. So I just managed to cue it up in time, and as they walked into the hall to get married, the opening lines came over the speakers...

"Thanks for the time's that you've given me, the memories are all in my mind, and now that we've come to the end of our rainbow...."

I literally hid behind the decks and thought to myself, fu censored.gif , he's gonna kill me! fear.gif

He didn't scowl though or show any anger whatsoever. Later on it transpired that he'd been so caught up in the emotion of it all when he walked in and saw her, he didn't even hear the music rolleyes.gif

Ever since then I've ALWAYS checked that I have the first dance etc with me b4 leaving for the gig excl.gif

I was doing an OB for a local radio station once in a shopping centre and I was stood on stage about to do an on-stage interview with a bloke cutting people's hair for chariddeeeee.

I looked up and in front of me was a bloke who looked like Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees - so I said "hey look everyone it's Barry from the Bee Gee's" everyone laughed except him, he walked up on stage and biffed me one on the nose.

Never again. Oh and yeah there was the time I called our OB technician a w#nker on air as we weren't getting a good signal from our OB truck back to the studio. The reason? The silly man had pointed the transmission aerial in completely the wrong direction to where the studio actually was. I didn't know the tech-op back in the studio had our output going through the system so I called him a Idiot, and a possible 125,000 people listened to it happen.

Only 2 complaints though smile.gif That was probably 100% of the listening population hehe

Excellent! Sounds a bit Alan Partridge like! laugh.gif
ian
Heheh, that was rather funny, the bee gees incident however was not 188.gif ever wanted to punch someone and all you could see on their head was your rajar figures? hahaha
Dukesy
Yes - titter titter... huh.gif

Just for the record, I believe that the image of the DJ is not helped when it is stated on a forum or elsewhere what the DJ would like to do, intends to or has done to a client or guest.
It's unprofessional and really stupid. Other forums may encourage this but it is not what we are about on the DJsUnited forum. It's not good for this forum, or for potential members to see. Ultimately its not good for our own business either IMHO
