Bad DJ’ing experience

Dave & I DJ’d at a friend of a friend’s brother’s wedding. It was a bit of a last minute thing, but I thought it wold be fun. I was asked to play eighties music as the bride and groom were in their 30’s.

Unfortunately, the mother-of-the-bride came up to us immediately after putting on the first song and told us our music was terrible, actually, “it was shit”. She did not put it nicely, she said it was shit and she didn’t want to hear it! Other people also had their opinion of what we should play eg. ABBA.

One guy almost picked a fight with Dave, he suggested he play something more “approachable” like Coldplay instead of the very funky Michael Jackson track that was on.

Another girl came and told me that the Tears for Fears song I was playing right near the end of the night was terrible and stood there and gave me a dirty look for 3 minutes. Some of the guests were having a great time dancing away to all the 80’s hits I brought (there was even a little 70’s and 60’s for the oldies and Noughties stuff too). I know you can’t please everyone when it comes to music, but some of the people were plain rude. Dave and I were shocked at the way these people spoke to us. We were still reeling 3 days afterwards. I will probably never ever DJ at a wedding again.

    You’re a top DJ Rozie. Rudeness is a cover for ignorance.

    I agree with Bec. I’m sorry you had to deal with heathens like them Rozie. You played a fantastic set at Pop Frenzy and everyone loved you!
