I played at a 30th birthday in Milnerton last weekend. Here are few things I learnt from that experience…

• Everyone has a favourite song
• Everybody expects to hear their favourite song upon requesting it with the DJ
• Everyone expects the DJ to have their favourite song and also find the time to play it during the course of the evening
• Just because you’re chums with the person footing the DJ’s bill, doesn’t mean you can request shit…
• There are a significant amount of people who still love Tina Turner’s music…. surprisingly.
• If your boyfriend’s a crack-smoking loner musician without a day job, please don’t let him play (his guitar) at your party… despite his best intentions. His set will probably be depressing, sucking the juice right out of the party, and you’ll more than likely end up crying.
• I get paid regardless of whether you have a good time or not, though it does make my job much more enjoyable if you do.
• Belly-dancing is the shit!

Here are a few snaps from the evening:
