Cloud And Sun DJ Services Weekly Blog

Hi And Welcome to my regular blog. I will try and keep it humorous which may mean mildly colourful language at times. I hope you enjoy it and won't be offended. In order to protect the guilty; no Customers will be mentioned by name unless it's complementary and even then I may opt for anonymity. This is only because I wanted to impress you by putting in the word "anonymity."  If I can think of any other slightly more pointless and annoying rules, I will let you know in due course.

  1. Hot, busy and Friday afternoon bass bins

    Posted on

    Woa flippin' 'eck. It's the season of weddings and I'm happy to say I'm rushed off my feet. Had a brand new bass bin go wrong on me last week so thank God I decided to hang on to the old ones. The gig went alright. I still had 1000 watts on the other side and since bass is omni directional it wasn't a problem.

    This is the weather where as your setting up the sweat starts rolling down your neck/face and everywhere else. That cooling fan comes into it's own at this time of year.

    Well the reviews keep rolling in week after week so I must be doing something right.

    Beckies off to her fatherland this weekend but I haven't time to miss her too much. Talking of which, I'd better get going as I've lots to do. If you live near Littlehampton, keep September 5th free as the seafront will be full of classic cars, competitions, fireman displays, stalls, beer tent, food, Splash FM, myself and other acts. I hope the weather is as good as this week. Should be one nice, big charity day out.

    See you next time.

    Have a great weekend. 

  2. Big day out in September

    Posted on

    Hi all. I've just been booked for a massive outdoor charity gig for "Help for heroes" on September 5th (Sunday) which is on Littlehampton sea front. The event I understand is called "Beach Green motor mania" and it's expected to draw thousands on the day. They'll be competitions, prizes, a sizable vintage car exhibition (I think in the 50's American style - I have to play lots of rock n' roll)  and I believe at least one local radio station will be there too. That's all the details I've got for the moment but it promises to be a big day out. So stick it in your diary. September 5th Littlehampton beach. 10:00 to 5:00pm.

    Have a great week..

    Classic Harry Enfield here  Not my opinion by the way!

  3. Libservatives, recession and extra bass

    Posted on

    Well what a week for politics eh? Who could have expected that result? Perhaps this is what we need right now. Libs green and base tax allowance policies and Tories getting the economy back to some degree of respectability, Not to mention releasing BT's hold on slow copper cable village broadband and putting it out to tender for others to install fibre-optics. That'll get MY vote. 

    I was getting my smoke machine fixed in Brighton this week at my favourite repair shop and My man John was telling me that around 25% of mobile dj's have gone out of business. I look at my competition on Google and it doesn't seem that way to me. My business must be one of the few that's expanding. He say's about six clubs in Brighton have gone too. It was a surprise.  

    Well I've had some good gigs lately around Barnham. I've got Saturday off this week so I'm doing a voluntary unpaid gig.
    I've done all weddings with one large one at the Chamendian Centre in Worthing where I got to try out my 3.2 KW bass bin combination in an actual room and not a sound dead marquee. It still took all the power of the four bins to fill the place but what a sound! Nice. Unfortunately I can't get a review as the customers aren't on the interweb. 

    Well that's all for this week. I'll leave you with some Eddie Izzard


    Have a great weekend.

    Mike.
