was asked by a mate last week if i fancied djing on saturday october 9th for a party.
what's the occasion? i ask
oh, just a get together with the lads, he answers, all mysterious
oh right, where at? i inquire
ehm.. (name of really rough pub in stockport), but in a private room, replies said mate
what's the deal? asks me
(sigh) a couple of hundred lads getting together to celebrate / comiserate the england vs wales game. [long pause]Â is that a no, then? says my mate
combination of roughest pub in the district and a couple of hundred beered up footie casuals nudged me towards a negative response, which my mate wasn't too surprised by. should've seen it really, as he's a budding dj, and admitted he would never consider doing it in a million years.
did make me wonder what i'd be expected to play. would doubling up on niagara be appreciated? bonnie and wendy? birds n brass? welsh sain folk?
weirdly, a part of me is now thinking it could've been a very surreal (albeit dangerous) experience. Â
and no, i've no real football allegiance, before anyone asks....probably why i was asked in the first place, come to think of it...
