I’ve got a thing about party/ function DJs who fail in their simple task of just putting on decent interesting music for the assembled throng to girate to.
Why do they feel they have to waffle into the microphone, un-intelligibly and inaudibly much of the time, and when it is audible most of it is gener-ally drivel.
I hate it with a passion when they start a track, and then keep turning it down to blurt out another ‘quip’.
Worse are those, usually eld-erly, DJs, who put on tired old numbers that must have been getting folk up on the dance floor for donkey’s years, and then, when the anthem chorus comes along, they turn the mu-sic down to zero volume for everyone to sing out. You know the ones… YMCA, Simply The Best, Hi Ho Silver Lining et al.
And then there’s the Soul Se-quence where a few Motown classics are wheeled out one af-ter another, until the dead horse is well and truly flogged for yet another dreary disco evening.
Surely it’s not beyond the wit of this breed of ‘entertainer’ to come up with something a bit more modern without revert-ing to thrash garage music, or whatever, and still keep the dance floor pounding?
And, for goodness sake, stop the wafffle.
