Hi everyone! Hope you had a great Christmas. I thought we had a quieter one than usual work wise, but I've totted up the income and it's almost exactly the same as last year. Not only that, I've discovered that I made a mistake in last years final gross profit figure and I've paid too much tax as a result! Bugger! Never mind. I guess they need the extra money after the last lot ballsed up the economy so much - with help from the bankers but not exclusively of course.

Anyway, talking of ballsing it up. I got a last minute New Years Eve gig and the host told me to set this confetti cannon off at midnight. I say to him: "Do I need to take this polythene off if the tube first?" "No I think it's fine" he says. So come midnight I play the new year chimes (which last about a minute). All this time I'm trying to twist this ruddy cannon tube open and not getting anywhere. Finally the chimes end and ...well nothing. Dead air as they say on radio. I rush over and start Auld lang Syne on the other decks (it's complicated but the start of the chimes needs cueing out as it goes on forever - other wise I'd have programmed it up on the laptop) and a cheer goes up. I realise that this ruddy polythene needs to come off so I'm about to set fire to it with my lighter (for speed - used to do this with CD covers) when Becky clocks whats going on and comes and rips it off in one surprising and slightly annoyingly smooth and efficient German movement, thus enabling me to fire off at last the confetti on to a now Auld Lang Syne swaying Audience. I told the host what happened after and he was cool about it. "Oh yeah" he said, "we had the same problem earlier in the car park". At first I thought; Why were they setting confetti cannons off in the pub car park? And then I thought; why the hell didn't you come and tell me that before midnight????

Then there was the girl on the dance floor who had a dress on so short that every move she busted, it rode right up over her bum. My god this job is hard sometimes. You just have to grit your teeth and get through the night as best as you can....

Sigh....Anyway, things are filling up up nicely for 2011, though I'm determined to find out why if you type "mobile disco Sussex" into Google, I don't appear anywhere...Try it. You'll see.

Have a great new year and see you soon,

All the best,

Mike.

Hi all. Just to let you know I'm available again for New Years Eve due to a cancellation. Prices start at £500.00 for an amazing night out. New years eve is the best night of the year so make sure you book the best. Last year I was at The Ship Hotel in Chichester and it was wild! Enquiries are bound to come in even at this late hour so don't um and err for long...

Thanks to my clients this weekend for showing your love. Mel, Chris, Joelle and Dave in that order. Hope to see you all again soon and thanks for the great reviews.

Hello to Andy. Nice talking with you today. Hope it all works out this year and next.

My tip for Christmas TV. Most of you out there have posh new HD ready TV's in your front room right? I bet you have at least one laptop with an HDMI connection. Well if you do, Get yourself an extra cable so when the awful TV comes on you can run your TV catch up sites through your big screen TV and watch all the best of what you didn't have time to watch before. If you havent got an HDMI connection from your PC there may well be other ways so check it out, as most new TV's have a multitude of connections that could potentially come from a PC such as VGA although this may or may not give you HI-Definition. Mind you even here in Worthing, I would struggle to get the bandwidth needed for that!  If you need extra long cables try going to leads direct in Seaford. You can order from their site. Also there is lots of classic comedy to be viewed on youtube from days gone by as you may have realised either from previous blogs or just surfing on your own. So there you have it. You don't have to watch Only Fools And Horses (good as it is and was) or some lousy American Santaclause movie for the 600th time. Good luck!

Ok well if you haven't got your decorations up yet, why not? Come on you muppet! Get into the spirit of it all. I'm ordering you to do so! I mean we might even have snow at Christmas and then what are you going to look like eh? Just immagine if you were driving down the road and every single house actually had lights up in the front room etc. AND it snowed at the same time? I'd have to go out and take pictures then would'nt you?

Alright that's enough bossiness. Have a great Christmas and New Year if I don't blog before then, which at my current frequency is highly possible. Well I'm afraid I'm one of those people who only blog when they've actually got something to say. Commercial suicide I know, but there you are...

Take care,

Love,

Mike.

Hi there. Sorry been a bit quiet lately. I've been enjoying the calm before the storm and sitting back on my flippin' gorgeous sofa with flippin' gorgeous Becky just reading, watching films etc. riding out the dry month of November and I'm not talking weather. My busiest year ever and it all goes to nothing in firework month. Well I'm not complaining. I rarely get much time off in my life so I'm not going to waste it by feeling insecure! Besides, December is busy now, although Thursdays are still available as I type this, so think on if you haven't booked your Christmas get together yet. Sorry to Jane who I couldn't help the other week. I hate it when I can't help a regular customer because they've left it a bit late and I'm already booked. Sometimes I can move heaven and earth for them but if I can't, who's to say they might stick with the next guy? I'm pretty damn good at what I do but I'm not the only one so I've seen a few nice faces disappear before now.

Oh well, not long now and everyone will be putting their 'decs up and we may even get snow again. Last year I was playing at the Ship hotel Chichester near to Christmas eve and as I looked out the window I saw the heavy flakes falling and announced it to the crowd. It's a good job it wasn't a boat, as they all rushed the window to see, proving beyond all doubt that when it comes to snow and Christmas, most people are as bigger kid as me. I still recall the warm festive feeling as I headed down a snow filled A27 after the last gig before the big day. Mmmm.....pass me a mince pie and cream with a brandy on the side and Christmas pudding and Cornish ice cream to follow...

Well I'll leave you with a peek into the future of Deejaying ie: with a flat panel and touch screen. I knew it'd be here one day but I couldn't have told you how soon. Now all they need to do is make it professional size...

Have a great weekend and see you soon,

Mike.
