A word that I use very infrequently. Flocky Bicep and I turned up to our Lodge Ladies' Night normally attired and then changed into Jake and Elwood - the Blues Brothers. Flocky got the hats and they were exactly what we needed.
We came on and did a cameo set for about 3 or 4 minutes and then I did my Disk Jockey bit for about an hour. It really took me back and despite all the effort that went in, it was still a real buzz finding tracks to get people dancing. Now I can remember why I used to get such a kick out of it when I was younger. In those days we were well practised in the art of getting everyone up dancing, changing tracks to suit moods etc. This time it was difficult as I had a much wider audience. I did cheat and put on an 80/90s record to get them dancing. We did really well as I had recorded enough music to last 4 weeks and used just one hour of that - which is a shame as so much was geared to the people there.
I am going to sleep well tonight. We finished at 1 am and it is 1.35 now - I did a long set and then loads of dancing in character so I should have no problem in falling asleep and I may not be too fast getting up in the morning.
I really did let my hair down tonight and got stuck in to try and ensure everyone had a good time. I am absolutely whacked out as we did the routine at the start and carried on dancing until we finished. PHEW!!!
I have really enjoyed myself tonight and I'm really glad that we had a good number to enjoy the evening with us. I am not sure if Flocky and I will ever make it as entertainers but we did try our best!
