I must admit that when I was first asked to DJ at a 60th Wedding Anniversary I was a little worried at how well a disco would go down. However I soon realised that it would be a lot like a Wedding – many different age groups from Great Grandchildren to Grandparents.
So on a sunny Saturday in Portishead I made my way to a lovely little venue known as the Folk House not far from the High Street. The younger members of the family were busy decorating the place and making enough sandwiches to feed an army.
After speeches and the cutting of a cake (see, I told you it would be just like a Wedding!) I started the disco. Luckily young and old joined in and we had a great night with a real mixture of tunes. A cracking venue and a brilliant crowd. What more could you ask for?
