A weekend entertaining at Dobbies Garden Centre proved an interesting experience and brought new challenges experiences and thoughts.Initially brought in to provide music to enhance this huge garden complex which also hosts Butterfly world . On Saturday The Mad Hatman provided a cool jazzy backdrop and encouraged support for cancer care volunteers who were collecting.The day flew past with childrens face painting , talking up store promotions, iinteraction with staff and customers coupled with tunes I hadn't played in years for an older generation.Back on Sunday The Mad Hatter also arrived and as well as looking the part he was charming the ladies and snakes, wearing a python hatband and millipede hatpin. The Hatman also met those Goldwing motorcycle boys collecting for Alzheimer's disease and a couple who introduced themselves as satisfied customers from 15 years ago when I organised and played at their wedding . The diversity of people and music Mad Hatman discos has entertained over the years was brought home when they reminded me how well the function went even coping with some heavy metal and gothic requests. A huge deviation from our traditional Scottish weddings playing popular music, party favourites and age old classics to guests. I can now look forward to forthcoming discos and Karaokes,playing to ladies beach volleyball players and Beltane birthday bashes in urban farmhouses! No wonder I need different hats for every occasion

Now that the party season is upon us I look forward to entertaining more quality events. It never ceases to amaze me when people book disco entertainment

without checking who will be looking after their event. AFTER 30 YEARS of every type of function under the sun I can look back to many memorable weddings in castles church halls or private houses knowing every one was as successful as one could make it. Rather than take money on false pretences and go through the motions as some do. I believe in working hard to ensure the music, set up and appearance is what I know is required to generate a great night or day.

Many DJs are excellent in their particular field but useless at working a party. They probably are better mixers than I am but put a microphone in their hand and its like kryptonite to Superman.

No matter what type of event from a childrens party to a huge outdoor event like th Edinburgh Marathon I have received good feedback and recommendations along the way.

Getting the right person to look after your important event is not worth entrusting to the cheapest you can find. That is why people remember the Mad Hatman and recommend him to their family,friends and colleagues even after many years. Perhaps it was from The Suffolk Hall Hotel where a huge amount of terrific memories were sown over 13 years. Alternatinely it may have been a family or works party.

Usually the very best in every profession are those who have worked the coalface building up their experience until they become a master of their craft.A master builder would not trust an apprentice to build his house in the same way I would never let an inexperienced DJ look after any event.

Hopefully reders will concur and entrust The Mad Hatman to guarantee their special event is another fantastic memory to remember for years to come.
