Here is my Playlist at a Wedding this Week...

Our first dance is The Time of our Lives by Green Day

Finally, the sort of music we are hoping for is as follows:

Punk Rock - Green Day, Sum41, Blink182, etc.
Rock - Lost Prophets, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, The
Darkness, Nirvana, Stereophonics, etc
Indie/Recent Pop - Blur, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, Good Charlotte, Coldplay,
Travis, David Gray, Feeder, etc
Chart - Robbie Williams(recent and swing versions), Dido, OutKast, Snow
Patrol, Keane, etc
Rap - 2Pac, Dr Dre, Eminem (older stuff), Shaggy, LL Cool J, etc
Dance - Old Skool mainstream (commercial chart stuff) "Sweet Like
Chocolate", "Here the Drummer Get Wicked", etc

No trance, house, techno, ABBA, Jive Bunny or cheese or chart stuff!

Should be an interesting night

Well theres just over 30 tracks there, if you just play one from each mentioned artist, so about 2.5 hours worth.

Looks like they forgot that "Pop" meant "popular" - they say at the end "No chart stuff", yet have asked for things that were popular enough to chart, and have even asked for "Commercial chart stuff" earlier on in the list

I refer your honourable client to the following advice taken from a wedding planners web site under 'Entertainment'

Good Luck

I say don't worry Chris. You'll get the hang of it no problem.

This kind of wedding booking is very common in many countries. It is extremely popular in America, where DJs provide web listings of their songs and allow people to select.

It has gone mainstream in Ireland, partially through people returning from America after working there. It works out pretty well. You just have to keep on reminding yourself and everyone else that they are celebrating two peoples' union and it is their day. In Ireland people respond to that, I presume from its popularity in America that people respond to it too, and I have no doubt that British people, famed for their respect and courtesy will also respond.

Bonne chance

Don't forget the Asprin(lot's off)

It really is becoming mroe and more popular to have thiese kind of desocs isnt it??

Are the younger generations starting to move away from the cheese?? some might argue this is the cheese of the futrue


I personally love these kind of nights and get a real buzz out of playing them.

LOL

I know how you feel Chris... But at least you have more mainstream than I was asked for back in March!!

My playlist included:

Metalica, Megadeath, Iron Madien, Sepulturer, Some bizzare german metal groups and i was strictly told "NO chart, pop, Party, or other rubbish!!!"

This was a Bikers Wedding, and was very dressed down!! The bride was in a white trouser suit with vale and the extras, the groom was wearing a smart suit - but only at the wedding, But when they all turned up to the evening do, Almost everyone was in full leathers!!!! I was a little worried!!!

But we did have a good night.....






... The only problem....





... is I have been asked to do another next year !!!!!!!!!!

Oh well..... Lucky i saved the playlist !!!

Chris - if you want to cover my surprise 60th I'll do your wedding!!
