I have a School Reunion with a 70's and 80's theme. Since they want the entire Evening made up of 70's and 80's tracks, they have sent me a playlist with some old favourites from their School Days

Should be an interesting night, it's been a long time since i've been able to play a lot of the above tracks, since some are not what you'd call suitable Wedding Music
, or the type you'd play at a general function.In addition to the above, what would you add to the list, since i'm looking for inspiration to fill 5 hours
.

Well Chris, if you're after 5 hours worth of music...no problem.
Theres over 4 hours worth in the clients original list! I think alot of people start writing down song/play lists without realising that you cann only get 12 to 15 tracks played in one hour (unless you're Jive Bunny, in which case its 2~3000 tracks per hour
)
At school reunions, Ive found that most people just want to circulate, reminisce on the old days, talk about the good old days, the teachers etc and where 2 or more girls are gathered...gossip about everyone else...
The music will be more for atmosphere than dancing all night. So, try and get involved with announcements by obtaining gossip from everyone...eg: "Tracy Matthews here, wonders how many of you remember the girls toilets catching fire on the day of the Pupils Vs Teachers sports day???? yes? a few of you...well Tracy just owned up to it being her. She did it coz Dave Smith offered her a cigarette if she did it..."
A few of those sorts of announcements, together with who had crushes on which teachers, and you're well away.

Good idea announcing gossip and how about talking over old TV themes like: -
Grange Hill, Vision On, Magpie, The Goodies etc.
I have looked at projectors recently and on one site it was suggested that DJ’s don’t make enough use of slide projectors. He suggested images of Ford Capri’s, Space hoppers and Raleigh Choppers?
