Mobile Disco Gig log, 20th October 2007

0:00 Goodness knows what's going to happen

Alright folks, Jonathan here. It's the 20th of October 2007 and I'm on the way now to Wrexham to the golf club. So we shall take a look and see the building shortly and then have a look inside. A function not for that many people and trouble is it's on the night when it's the rugby finals so... Goodness knows what's going to happen. Hopefully, if England win, we should have a damn good evening. And hopefully if England don't win, I'll make sure that they have a damn good evening anyway, so pay attention. Here we go. Here we are. We're at the venue. It's quite funny actually because I was thinking for ages, I'm sure I know this place and I've worked here before. And the one thing I do remember about this place is that the actual drive to the building itself is about a mile long and it just...

Meanders through trees and whatnot. And then you end up seeing this huge property that's about, I don't know, six miles long in itself. Well, not really six miles, but over-exaggeration there. Give you the general sort of idea of the actual drive. Now this isn't a main road. This is the drive to the venue with speed bumps all over the place. So pretty soon we should be coming up to the venue. There's the moon looking quite nice. Yes.

I'll pause it for a bit, otherwise we'll be here all day. And there it is. I remember I have been here before. I did a PA hire the once for a firework display and around the back they've got another room. Oops, it's gone. Right, here we are outside the venue and the funny thing is, like I said earlier, I have worked here before and I'm in this building which is behind the main room. There you go. Not as big but still rather large. Let's have a look at some of the grounds.

2:38 That for a moon

You can't really get the scale of the place here, looking at it like this. But the only way of describing it, it's almost like a little town in itself. If you check it out on Google, I'll put the description to the left-hand side. Right-hand side, sorry. And have a look and see what you think. Look at that for a moon. Bit blurred. There. And this is the exact room I played in before. Just sit over there, couple of small speakers, they don't want it loud. And there you go, there's the bar just through there and then these doors open out into a middle room and they're eating in the second room along so there's actually sort of a three sectioned building here on the top floor. There you go folks, another gig.

And quite often people do say, well we don't see much of the people dancing. Well, I'm sure Brian S. Rhodes will have exactly the same answer to that and that is you don't really have much time to do any filming because you're concentrating on the job at hand. A very mixed audience tonight and there was a lot of talk of the crowd being a very difficult crowd because you had age groups from sort of 21 up to about 80 but in fact They were very, very easy to please because they were out to enjoy themselves. They were out to have a bit of fun and the philosophy and policy I used where the music was concerned is you just play the stuff people know, people like, people can sing along to. Happy vibe, happy feel. Everyone's happy. Good evening. They're clapping at the end. New York, New York. Goodness knows what was played. But a lot of fun. So this is what it's all about.

Well, it's coming up to half past one in the morning and I've probably got about two hours drive. It was 120 miles to the event so it's 120 miles back now so practice and enjoy.
