Once again I was back with the The Forces, always a special occasion. Being held on the 31st October one would normally expect a Halloween night but NO!!!! This was the END OF THE WORLD. The army guys really prepared well for this event with a well set scene for the devastation that would come with the 'End of the World'!!!! There were corpses all over!!
The guests really got into the theme with some excellent outfits, some off the eg (haz chem suits) others home made etc etc
Given the theme I was asked to keep lighting to a minimum and so set up with the starlight DJ booth, a medium lighting bar and a couple of low level mood lights.
I played a mix of music starting with rock for the intro and warm up and then moving in to Motown and more generally thereafter, the full playlist is laid out at the bottom.
