Was just surfing the web and came across this little community.

I work in the wedding industry and have worked alongside many mobile discos over the years.  I just thought I could join your forum and give another perspective - another opinion - to the situations that affect us all.  Maybe I could learn some of you a thing or two and I certainly look forward to learning from you in the future.

Best wishes

I'm Dazzy 'D' (aka Darren!) and I'm the chief forum administrator around here.  But I thought I'd just tell you all a bit about myself so you can feel you know me better.

At the time of posting, I'm 32 years of age (in DJ land this makes me a pensioner!).  I am a dad to 2 (Liam aged 2 and Katie, 1) and we all live with my partner Anne and her daughter Chloe.  All in all, it's a bit of a mad house really!

I run Lightning Disco & Entertainment, one of the regions most popular mobile disco & karaoke operators (going by the number of bookings we've been getting lately).  We provide entertainment for all occasions but I prefer to do the family parties, especially weddings, as I feel more comfortable with these than the pub nights.  

I've been DJing since 1999 when I started doing work for another local business, Rising Star, run by Kev.  I honed my style here and then started up Lightning cos I felt I had something more to offer.  Lightning is a family three-way partnership with myself, my dad and my brother, Lee.  Working together, we have built up quite a business.

I'm not just a DJ/KJ though.  I recently started work as a civil servant with a nice little 9-5 office job which frees up my weekend to the disco work.  It's also a good regular wage so I don't have to rely on the discos too much especially if we hit any quiet periods.

My aims in life are to be happy and keep doing what I enjoy.  I also want to help other DJs/KJs to improve the way they work and, in turn, raise the profile of our industry and also improve the publics perception of us.  I feel that, in achieving this, everyone will benefit.

Anyway, I am always open to questions so if there's anything you want to know about me, about Lightning or about anything else connected to our industry, just ask and I'll do my best!

The discussion in here is very calm and easy-going.  Heated debate is simply not allowed.

Anyone can come in here and have a good old chinwag.  Likewise, this is the ideal place for new members to come in and introduce themselves.

Any threads that look likely to incite arguments or heated debate will be removed.  Just take it easy and chill...        ]]> Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:54:34 Dazzy 'D'
