Full Description
My name is Mike and I've been a musician since 14 years old. I've been a song writer and producer and now a DJ too.
Of course I love music, have a vast knowledge of it and I use the same way of mixing it that the top world name Deejays use and I'll have you on the floor with your hands in the air as soon as you're ready. Top quality warm up music will be played until that point in the night to get you in the mood, without drowning out your conversations with and amongst your guests.
These skills and state-of-the-art equipment will make you glad you booked me for your event.
Friendly and ethical to the hilt, feel free to call me today for a no-obligation chat about your up-coming party.

People got up that just "never dance"
Hi Mike,
Sorry for the slow response - we've just getting back into the swing of things after our honeymoon! I've just left feedback on your guestbook - as I said, thanks for your DJing we were really pleased with the music. One cousin of ours said he'd never seen his dad dancing before (he was dancing on a chair at one point) and another person hadn't seen their husband dance 'in over a decade'.
We had a great time on the dancefloor so thanks for all your work.
Best, Tom (and Griselda)

Everything just perfect
We would like to say thank you so much to Mike for the music at our wedding. He kept the party going even with guests popping in and out of the room and knew the songs to play to get our guests and us moving. He was that good I even managed to get my new husband to dance too. Very friendly, on time and no worries with communication leading up to the day. Would highly recommend.

You knew exactly how to get people on the dance floor
Thank you Mike for being part of our wedding day. You turned up when you said you would and very quickly the music started. You knew exactly how to get people on the dance floor. Requests were played and the sound was amazing. We will definitely recommend you and will keep your number handy for the future. Thanks Mike

"Very professional, punctual, tidy and efficient. But most of all we had a blast at our wedding and the dance floor was kept busy all night! We were allowed to call the majority of music as well as guests requesting tracks, all put together to make a memorable night, thanks."

"Mike DJed at our wedding. He incorporated our massive playlist and mixed in a few of his own as well to keep the dance floor filled. Despite terrible weather everyone had a great time dancing the night away! Thanks!"

"We used Mike as a DJ for our wedding and he has been great. We loved the range of music he played and it got everybody up and dancing.
Mike was very responsive prior to the wedding and fulfilled all our wishes.
Would definitely book again."

FAQ

What is your most memorable wedding?
A wedding where all the men decided to do a strip show for the women! That's not a pretty sight for a heterosexual DJ from in front or behind! It went down well though and of course I backed them with the Full Monty medly.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Playing classy tunes that fit the mood of the moment and when the time comes, that get the crowd up and getting their "freak on".
What about your business are you most proud of?
Constantly ploughing money back into it to upgrade equipment. I've finally got the most sought after sound system (Electrovoice) on the planet for deejays. It's so clear and punchy. I love it!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't start the disco too early or go on too late. a 4-hour show from 7-11pm or 8- 12 am is far better than the standard 7:30 - 12:00 am. If you're feeling really brave, go for a 2 or 3-hour show. It really focuses peoples minds on dancing and not talking all night. In reality, the standard show will include hours of background music anyway. Nothing much happens until around 9 - 9:30 pm at most weddings. Going on too late will often see an empty venue, as most people are knackered by 11 pm after a very long day! Of course, if you want a long show I won't turn you away. It's only a suggestion!
My number 2 tip is to try not to send a long list of requests in advance. The more freedom the guests have for live requests on the night, the better the experience for them and yourselves.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Fish and chips instead of a buffet. Who doesn't like fish and chips? Even carba-phobes like me will make an exception! Don't forget the mayonaise!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I pack as much info as possible onto my website, so by the time couples make contact, often they are ready to book. However, some like to see me first and if they are local enough to me, it's no problem. I answer all the questions and concerns they have until they are ready to go ahead. If you know your business and are confident, there is no need to hard sell. My own ethics wouldn't let me anyway. I have a good product with great reviews and that's all I and my clients need.
What makes a romantic first dance?
Something slow and powerfullly melodic. One of my favourite ballads is: Wendy Moton - Come on in out of the rain or: if you don't know that one: Mariah Carey - Anytime you need a friend. Both real blasters of songs where the singer gives it their all and unlike some, they actually have it to give!
What is your number one floor-filler?
A few years ago it would have been Abba - Dancing queen. These days, There is no panacea track. It depends entirely on the guests and the general age group in the house. Things have changed and older guests often don't come forward, or aren't there anymore (possibly due to costs) . The days of large, large family weddings aren't quite as common as they used to be. And the generations are moving on - eg: I rarely get asked for 60's anymore and not that many requests for 70's either. It's all there if folks want it, they just don't ask as much.
Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?
Jamiroquai. All round funky-assed grooves with classic legendary funky 70's style keyboards making it sound completely authentic.
What is the soundtrack to your life?
Gino Vannelli - Where am I going to - Live in Canada. Awsome, Awsome performance.
