DJ’ ing A Wedding

Photo Shot 1 This is a wedding I DJ’ ed at the end of last year for one of my good friends parents! I was really nervous before I did the gig because it was the first gig I have done in about two years but it went really well and they were very happy with the out come. Congratulations Joan and Dave, thanks for letting me DJ.
