What a great way to kick off 2015 - DJ for Anna's 80s themed 40th birthday party at Sunridge Park Tennis Club. Early January parties can sometime have a flat feeling, for obvious reasons, but not this one
a fantastic celebration with myself as DJ and a great band Class of '87
everyone in one room - no 'leakage'. Take note if you are organising a celebration
all in appropriate and splendid fancy dress
great hosting from Anna and Nick
lots of help from friends and family
My role was to open the evening, build up towards the band's first set, play the intermission, and then take the night on to 1am. Working with Class of '87 was a pleasure, great professionals. The dance floor was banging the whole night. See th efull playlist below.
My playlist for the evening was as follows:
