    I did a really good thing last week.........

    Me and my friend hired out a club and hosted our own night last Friday (not an easy thing to do when this whole town is either r and b or chart music).

    We were both dj'ing on the night, but we also agreed to let a local lad dj - this guy unfortunately has Downs Syndrome, but absolutely loves music so we agreed to let him do the 1st hour, just playing chart stuff off of cd's, no mixing or anything.he absolutely loved it, and the delight on his face really made the night for me.he played really well too, had people dancing and set it up nicely for me to take over from him.

    His family were telling me that something like this would literally be one of the highlights of his life, so we are really glad we obliged.

    When he finished my friend and me dj'ed all night and had a great time, managed to make a little bit of money back on the door too........happy days!!!

    + 100 points for Greg. Way to go man, nice to see that there are still some people out there willing to put their egos aside for the sake of the enjoyment of others. Good to see that the crowd was into it as well.

      ^ Cheers skahound - it was such a top night, probably bettered because we were expecting the worst - people around here are just not into house music full stop.But we had 80 people through the door(in a very small 120 capacity venue)and we all had a top night.Its the 3rd time we've done it in 3 years and this was easily the best night of all.

                  We'll see if you really think that when I make it my dying wish to jump on in the middle of your set next weekend.
