Wedding disco with a band, Coombe Lodge near Bristol, 12th April 2013

So this was my fourth visit to the beautiful Coombe Lodge in the past 12 months – and as usual I was sharing the bill with a band. Not a ceilidh band this time but a rock covers band known as ‘The Jacks‘. The band were playing the couples first dance so I only had to set-up, play some background music until everyone was ready and then sit back enjoy the show – first the first hour at least.

The band were great and covered all of the usual rock songs that I’d play in a traditional wedding set – Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams, Blur, Oasis and AC/DC to name but a few. The bride and groom were big fans of the 90’s brit pop scene (especially Oasis) so this went down a storm with that age group of guests.

Then it was my turn to keep the pace of the evening going. Initially I played some older tracks to try and encourage the older guests to get involved but they’d been scared out of the room by the very loud (but very good) rock band. So with that route abandoned I concentrated on the audience I did have and kept it modern.

After the bands final set I played a range of music from the list provided to me from the bride and groom – this included Oasis, Crowded House and the music from the Gillette advert ‘The best a man can get’ by Joe Esposito …twice. Apparently this was quite an anthem for the lads. Finally refusing to leave the dancefloor the ensembled guests kept me DJ’ing past Coombe Lodge’s 12.15am cut off point as (naturally) we had to end the night with another Oasis song.

UPDATE:
This week I received a lovely email from the Groom, almost 2 months after the event. What a long honeymoon!

“Everyone had a really good night and the selection of music was spot on to keep everyone, young & old on the dance floor!  Thanks for making the booking process easy and keeping us informed in the run up, as you can imagine we had lots on our minds!
Thanks for playing on later and finishing on oasis for me!”
