The problem I find is the type of people that appriciate 60's 70's music dont like discos. So its a complete waste of time!

This christmas eve I did just such a gig at a local working mens club, The old folks generally just sit there and scowl at you.

When you have the music at a nice level so you can hear it good at the other end of the room and still chat, its too loud for the numpties that out of all the places in the room have chosen to sit at the tables about a foot from my speakers! Because it's THAIR table.

You get a constant battle of "can we have it a bit louder we can't hear it properly at the bar" and can you turn it down dear we cant hear eachother speak!
After repeated complaints from the table right next to my speaker about the lights shining in thair eyes every now and then, I got fed up with them moaning and turned them all off.
So quiet music playing with just the normal room lights on it was with only a handfull of the miserable sods getting up to dance.

Ha! Ha!

Brings back dreadful memories of lugging boxes and boxes of vinyl up narrow stairs!

Mate of mine still has a "Harvester" sitting in his ex-wife's garage. Every so often we talk about rescuing it and getting it up and running again.

Ha! Ha!

That will DEFINATELY be the harvester - he blew (oops, more comments due now) that one years ago.

However, he was 60 last summer and still DJs on a regular basis, but nowadays only uses CDs and has downsized to powered Mackies and a few LED effects from the back of his car.

In the 80s and 90s he was using 2 van loads of gear to do a job!
