So after my minor dissapointment regarding Ella, I suppose I should enlighten you all on the other love of my life...Djing.

Ok, girls..I know what you're thinking..he's a DJ wow!, which nightclub do you play in? Can you get me in free at your next gig?, because yes, I have met girls who have asked me just that, when the subject of "job" comes up in conversation. (In fact one of my more attractive female work colleagues still thinks I do "Gatecrasher" in Leeds every Friday, but I'll let her think that for the time being!) Yeah, love, if I was doing Gatecrasher every Friday I wouldn't be working in a flippin' shop love! just stop and think for a moment lass!

The truth is, and the honest truth is that I am a mobile DJ, I do weddings, birthday parties, christening parties, bar mitzvahs, (if I'm in Alwoodley) (soz, Leeds joke) and the occasional pub night. I have a residency, which will remain anonymous, but give me a lot of work doing parties and I enjoy working there. The rest of my work consists of people who see my advert in the Yellow Pages and word of mouth. I DJ in Social Clubs, Working Mens Clubs, school halls, Community Centres, Golf Clubs, I even did one in somebody's living room! Each venue has their own unique character.

On Friday evening for instance I was in a lovely Community Hall, for a 13th party, just outside of Leeds, while on Sunday afternoon I was in a school hall on a rickety little stage, next to a piano! The thing I enjoy the most though is people having fun, and in a lot of cases the 13 year old parties are more lively than adult parties, where there is alcohol freely available. I don't know what they quite put in Tescos lemonade these days, but it seems to have an amazing effect on teenagers!

On Sunday I had to judge a "catwalk" competition. I'd never really seen this before, and me being a bloke and not really a follower of such things as catwalks I was a little unsure what to look for. In the end I had to enlist the help of two girls, who were not so keen on walking up and down the dancefloor like Kate Moss, to help me pick out a winner, while I cued up Scissor Sister, "I Don't feel like Dancing, followed by some Girls Aloud!

We had fun though and doing discos for teenagers is certainly more fun than it is doing ones for say 60 year olds.

Last Sunday I was booked to do a 60th party in the afternoon, and as you can imagine, trying to get people to dance on a Sunday afternoon is a bit like pulling teeth. In fact most of the guests spent the whole afternoon telling me to turn the music down, than actually make a request or dance and have a good time. Judging by the fact the music was already so quiet that the sound level barely registered a green light on my mixer, I was beginning to wonder why they went to the trouble of booking me at all! Still, it was all money in my pocket and they did dance a bit later on, when they'd had some food and had caught up on the last two years of family gossip!

Anyway, DJing is something that I do love doing..and yes ladies, maybe one day I will go into a nightclub, and if you HAVE reached this paragraph, perhaps you are not as shallow as I thought you were.

Goodnight xx
