Tony & Mo’s Joint 65th Birthday @ East Glos Club, Cheltenham

Posted on 31 July, 2014 by Sam Gould

Tony & Mo had a Great Gadsby Theme, which meant there were lots of lovely period styled outfits worn. I played 20’s music for the early part of the evening- up until the buffet. The food was lovely- provided by venue staff, and the warm weather meant some enjoyed sitting outside to eat.

Plenty of disco dancing- music from 50’s through to the present day.

Our hosts!

Catherine’s 40th @ Canada Lodge

Posted on 10 February, 2014 by June Cecilia

On this occasion I shared the entertainment space with a band called Back to November who are from Barry. Four pleasant and talented musicians/vocalists who perform with great harmonies. They plugged their mics into our sound system, and did 2 x 45 min sets.

Catherine had chosen some advance requests which included tunes from Kool and the Gang, Dr. Hook, Jessie J and Robyn Thicke. A happy collection of guests who enjoyed these and other pop and soul numbers. The weather warnings did not prevent a good turn out, and the wood fires were very cosy.

It was lovely to see this couple again, having DJed for their Wedding in Miskin Manor in 2011.

Customer Feedback: “We were really happy with June. She did a fabulous job and we would highly recommend you. Thank you June!”

1st February 2014; Barry and Sue McKeever’s Anniversary Party at Cardiff Country Hall

Posted on 3 February, 2014 by June Cecilia

I first spoke to Sue in November, and booked the party. They got married on 14th February 1984, so this was their 30th anniversary. I asked if they had a first dance on the day, and they didn’t. So- 30 years later at their party, they did!

Background music consisted of a mix of tunes from the 60’s- 80’s, and their advance requested songs included music from The Kinks, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Madness and Simply Red. After the buffet, they did their first dance to “Twist and Shout” by The Beatles. All guests’ requests were played, and there was some epic dancing. Barry and Sue chose to end the night with some slow romantic songs- the last of which was “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton.

Barry asked everyone for a round of applause for me, June, the DJ at the end of the night, as everyone had enjoyed themselves. Thank you, Barry.

What a lovely couple!

IKEA Cardiff Transformed into an adult play area and Nightclub!

Posted on 13 January, 2014 by Sam Gould

Just been going through some old images and below is a little story about what we did with IKEA back in 2008/9.

You’ll never look at IKEA Cardiff the same but at their request, we transformed their store into a Nightclub. A little unusual we will admit but something that we here at SGDJ jumped at the opportunity to do! With a little help from our sister company (Impact Effects) and in collaboration with Dragon Bouncy Castles and White Fusion, we provided a very different ‘day at the office’.

Ikea 12

Everything you would not expect to find in IKEA, you actually found! On the ground level there was our very own Rodeo Sheep, Gladiators and an inflatable slide and bungee run!

On the first floor you were treated to a massive club standard sound system, a bouncy castle, sumo suits and over 2000watts of UV lighting on the Dancefloor! To top things off Staff were even treated to a FREE BAR!
