Here’s another (personal) review of a venue I find myself at on many occasions throughout the year. Remember, it’s not a comment on their food, drink or services…it’s just an opinion from the DJ’s perspective on how ‘party-worthy’ the function suites are…. The Monks Barn Quite a large room, holding up to 180 guests I…
What can I say?…My old haunt…..1994-2008 as resident DJ…it has now been rebuilt following the devasting fire of 2007. And what a fantasic looking job too! The Whitmore Suite From the brief glimpse I got whilst visiting a working colleague, very modern and plush. The DJ’s position was a bit cramped and the dance floor…
Over the past couple of years, function suites and halls of all types have been installing electronic sound-monitoring devices in order to keep noise down to an acceptable level for the neighbours. In a large number of cases, these monitors work very well…..they simply cut the power to the DJ/band’s equipment when the max level is…

As one of the foremost Essex mobile disco service providers, I will be reviewing some of the more prestigious and popular wedding venues over the coming months. Please bear in mind that I’m not commenting on the hotel rooms, the food or the service…it’s purely based upon how the function suites are conducive to a good party atmosphere.…
Just coming off the back of a pretty dull wedding reception, I was reminded of one of the things I dislike most about DJing to people who don’t get out much – the ‘name drop.’ I’m not talking about celebrities here either… it’s the moment where a woman leans over the DJ stand and boldly declares,…
Every working DJ has stories to tell of comedy goings-on and calamities at their gigs, and I’m no different! Now and then, I’ll update the ‘Tales’ category with the latest and greatest stuff…. First one comes from my very early days as a wedding jock. Really nice venue out in the wilds of North Essex, wonderfully sunny…
Well, after much nagging from my Webmaster, I have finally put fingers to keys on my very own blog site…. Coming soon will be the following unmissable features… Tales From The DJ Booth – Comedy goings-on in the life and times of a jobbing DJ Rant ‘n Rave – All the usual griping found on a blog…
