    when you say "older crowds" what age are we talking......??


    Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean
    the same thing?

    If you look around the torrent sites or on newsgroups there always a collection of number 1's stretching decades, I would imagine thats a good place to start. Depending on what gigs you end up doing will determine what tracks are expected. When I was shooting weddings a few years ago, it soon becomes obvious which same tracks get requested at certain events so you shouldnt need a vast range of stuff. There was a DJ at one of the weddings I shot that had fucking everything though, I tried to test him by requesting obscure shit and he had them all.

    The NOW albums are always a good base too, there's usually a hefty download of the whole collection floating around in the usual places.

    The ages are from about 30-80 so bit of everything is required and i only have current dance/pop

    I will be a "lap dog top lazy" as i don't fancy burning loads of CD's/label them all up.

    Thanks for the suggestions will get on it now

    Thanks to TotallyRandom

    Just grab the Now That's What I Call Music compilations. Sure you can probably get all of them on nzb or torrents.

    CDJ'ing is also lazy. You wanna do it properly, then get out the 1210's.
