There's a Shrimper on the Decks

Last night we met Euan, who'll be the DJ for the evening.

Nice guy, had a few good ideas about cetrain points in the evenings and we discussed the lighting he'll be supplying (no lasers, strobes or smoke machines). The main topic though, was that he wanted to get a handle on the sort of music we want played.

He agreed with me on how over-rated the Beatles are, with Simmi on how there should be no ABBA, and said that he's quite looking forward to not having to play the "same old stuff" that most couples ask for (that'll be shite pop music then - if you want any Take That, Celine Dion, Boyzone or the like, we may have to rescind your invite).

But he and I had to disagree over whether or not to play Barry White or any other "Disco" tracks. He won't be, By Order!

Anyway, the discussion then moved from there to football and it turns out that he's a Southend fan. You don't often meet too many of them, so while Simmi's eyes glazed and jaw slackened, we discussed the coming season. As I said, nice bloke (if a little too keen on D.I.S.C.O. for my taste!).
