Dublin DJ Hire

its back! the website was down for a few weeks. this was caused by a password change that took out access to the database. thanks to some observant clientele in the past 36hrs I went and fixed it. :)  there is nowhere to hide in cyberspace, thus nowhere to hide from the embarrassment of the site been down. Its a moment where I could say “do give up the day job“.

meanwhile, more exciting news I started DJ’ing over on Blip.FM

For the 3rd year running we played the after awards music at the Irish Blog Awards show. Each year it gets bigger and better, this year we also provided the PA system (1KW multi speaker spread system with radio mics) as the tables were removed to fit the 420 strong seated crowd. MC for the night was Rick O’Shea and the party went on til the small hours.

I was asked to post the sound cues used to accompany winners walk from the floor to the stage during the irish blog awards ceremony  01/03/08 - next year Cork! and yes we will travel down.

‘Tiz the season for discounts.

We rang in the new year in Ashboune Co. Meath playing to 3.30am, we love to boogie!.

As the credit (card) crunch hits we have a money saving offer for you. Book online and we will give you €50 off the cost of your party DJ hire. Mention coupon: disco.ie on the phone and we’ll give the same discount. Offer applies to bookings that make a deposit online.

Note our phone number has changed. Dublin 4433161 for all your disco hire needs.

Finally as we enter the new year, and we think green, we look to our disco lights, boxes of 16 incandescent bulbs (that blow from time to time). Will we be forced to use CFL? I hope they make a breakthrough on LED lights first.

Happy New Year - Brian Greene

I would like to thank you sincerely for doing a fantastic job as our DJ last Saturday night for my wife’s 40th. You managed to energise a mixed age group audience with a seamless mix of classics and something for the younger folk also. I had nothing but compliments from all in attendance and I would be pleased to recommend your DJ services to any prospective customers.
Regards

Having played the music at the afters of the 2006 Irish Blog Awards we were asked to spin the tunes after the 2007 event and direct all the music cues during the award ceremony. I was flickring around and found this shot taken late into the night by edgecast podcaster and double award winner on the night Conn O’Muineachain. The Blog awards were held in the Alexander Hotel Dublin for the past two years.

sometimes we ask you for playlists sometimes you ask us the DJ’s to provide one, here is one disco 70’s oriented list we made yesterday for a weddings afters music.

here is a list of about 120 songs that would normally appear out of
our 4-500 CDs and 8000 tracks on each DJs 2 x iPods which we mix on
the iDJ mixer.

Funky Town - Lipps Inc.
I Feel Love - Donna Summer
Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) - Jacksons
Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind & Fire/The Emotions

Function Type: 40th Birthday Party
Location: Celbridge
Date/Client : June 2007 for Haymac Catering

I happen to have been lucky enough to have catered the food at some of Brian’s Parties and they’ve all been a fantastic night.
He caters exactly to the customers requests and that has meant some rocking nights!! Great Stuff…. So Good I booked him for my wife’s 40th!!

Venue: Dromoland Castle County Clare
Function: Wedding
Date: August 2004

“I was married three years ago in Dromoland Castle — and to this day our wedding guests are still asking who DJ’d for us! (Brian was asked to DJ at a few of our guests weddings previously).

Brian played all the music on my set list — which was varied to say the least, as well as mix in songs he knew would get the crowd going.

Bless him, he even let me sing…very brave! For over 80% of the night, there wasn’t a person sitting :) I would highly recommend him at any event!”

Brian comments: its the only time I played the Battle Hymn of the Republic at a wedding (or any gig) but 50% were American, so it really worked :-)

Venue: Ghan House, Carlingford.
Function: Wedding
Date: June 21st

Had seen Brian cater for birthdays, weddings, & charity nights in the past so I knew it’d be a good night. Played to an eclectic mix of people of all ages and kept them happy and dancing. Especially the bride who got to relive the alternative 80’s scene for a while.

Awkward venue to play due to set up (dance floor is separate to bar and eating area) but had most people on the dance floor all night anyway.

Great mix of songs and happy to cater for all tastes, more than willing to listen to & play requests. And played till the wee hours.

No hesitation in recommending Brian’s DJ services for all types of functions.

the only time I have ever finished a gig with
How soon is now - the smiths - followed by
she sells sanctuary - the cult
the dance floor looked like a mosh pit at a stadium rock gig. :-)

DATE: Saturday 14 July 2007.
VENUE: Kealy’s Pub (Function Room).
LOCATION: Old Airport Road , North Dublin.
FUNCTION TYPE: 40^th Birthday Party.

We love doing 40^th birthday parties , its so easy to match the music of the 80’s to those born in 66, 67 and 1968. This gig turned out to be one of the best 40^th birthdays i did in a long time. When i started, the requests flooded in and the party got into full swing. By midway through the night the room was in a fantastic buzz and everyone was in full party mode. I got some very weird and wonderful requests that night including Adam and the Ants , that school disco classic Blue Monday by new order and even DANIEL O’DONNELL !!!!!. Thankfully I had all of these requests in my record collection. In all it was a great night for everyone there including the birthday boy! If they’re happy, we’re happy and that’s what counts - martin
