Behind The Curtain – That Night The DJ Pleased My Wife (It Must Be The Night Fever!)
Running their own DJ business in Letchworth Garden City means that John & Ruth Kennedy know a thing or two about parties. The challenge for them when organising Ruth’s 40th a few years ago at the historic Letchworth Broadway Hotel was to find a DJ that would exceed even their own very high standards. It was time to call on James, one of the Directors of Showtime Events, (known then as Disco Services UK) to magic up some musical memories at their 1980s themed party. ‘It’s always a tough one when you’re asked to play at other DJs family parties, but I knew I had enough in my 80’s bank to keep the party rocking! Besides our full colour LED dance floor, added to their package, was always going to keep the decks stacked in my favour. Call us at Showtime now to Take On Me.’
Rock of Ages
One of the biggest challenges for any professional DJ is to ensure that everybody leaves at the end of the function ‘having heard a little bit of the music that they wanted’. The skill of a Showtime Events DJ is to constantly balance the musical demands of all the guests so that nobody gets left out.
Our starting point is what we lovingly call a ‘mainstream family party night’. That is, a varied mix of chart tracks from all decades that all the people will know. Our job is to keep the floor filled all night and that means mainstream music and party tracks for all ages.
Of course, we love guest requests and can always accommodate other styles, but obscure homemade remixes played from someone’s iPod aren’t really for us and they won’t be for most of the other guests either. There’s plenty of great music out there for everyone, so let’s work together with you to find the 120 monster tracks that YOU really want to hear on YOUR night! We really have played at everything from an infant school party to a 100th birthday, so trust us, we have the music for you and your guests!
This Is Your Song!
Once you’ve had a chance to think about the songs that you and your guests would want, it’s time to get them up onto the Showtime Event Planning website. Once booked, all our clients get access to our online system so you can add your event playlist whenever you feel like it. Driving about in the car and hear a good song, no problem, use your smart phone to get it up on the planner! It’s all good.
As your event approaches your Showtime DJ will keep up to date with your latest online song list and make sure the tracks are all prepared for your BIG night. The planner can also be used to send messages about your party details to us, so we will always have the latest details to hand.
Remember, you can also give your guests an input into the playlist by using your guest login. So no dull iPod playlists here, just your fav party tunes all neatly packaged up by your specialist DJs. It all comes as standard when it’s Showtime.
Client Testimonial – Raising The Bar
"We just wanted to say an absolutely huge thanks to DJ Ray for Saturday night! It was great to see him again and as before the music you played was epic! Everyone commented on how great it was. Here’s to the next time! Take care and see you soon I hope at our next BIG event."

The Power of Themes
If you’re looking for a great twist to spice your party life, there’s nothing better than a good theme to add some zing into the night. A cool theme works because it gives guests a chance to get creative (and crazy) with fancy dress outfits and the like. It also helps you as a party planner focus on the props and décor a little more for your BIG night.
There’s nothing easier than a 70’s theme night. Ask our DJ to play all your disco & glam rock favs whilst your friends funk about in big hair & glitzy shades on our LED dance floor! If the 70’s isn’t your thing, how about one of these theme ideas, just add extra lighting, props and stir…
- Viva Vegas – Mix Frank, Dean & Sammy with a little casino razzmatazz and serve long with a shot of showgirl. Swing baby!
- Guys & Molls Prohibited! – Think Bugsy Malone, Smooth Criminal and the Volstead Act with a few machine guns & violin cases thrown in for good measure. Flapper girls get ready!
- Route 66 Diner – Pink Ladies, T-Birds, popcorn, cheeky milkshakes, big burgers, a neon sign or two and 1950’s Cadillac are what you need to make this American dream.
- Down The Rabbit Hole – You won’t need to say ‘white rabbit’ to get this party cooking. Imagine a Tweedle-Dee & Tweedle even Dumber kind of crazy with queens, red hearts & Cheshire grins guaranteed. Alice, Alice…who the…
- Electric Dreams – This is the place where you can unleash all your 80’s cheese without any tears or fears. Think luminous everything, mis-matched fluorescent socks, Ra-Ra skirts and Rubik’s cubes. Remember, in Club Tropicana drinks are free. Make mine a Cocktail, but hold the Tom Cruise!
Showtime Top Tip
Most of the time we say that less is more, but if your party space really is a ‘blank
canvas’ then jazz up your party night cost-effectively with a set of LED uplighters or our nightclub moving head light package. Our amazing starlit backdrops can help to cover walls or make big spaces more intimate.
Extras, Extras, Read All About It!
If you do want to inject some extra party buzz into the night, why not add some of our extras onto your booking – maybe a BIG bubble machine or two, confetti launchers, some nightclub-style lighting or our amazing ‘Craic in a Box’ party pack. Not for you? Here’s a few more that might work:
- How about a twinkly starlit dance floor to top-up that party razzmatazz?
- Don’t forget, décor uplighting is a very cost-effective way to colour a blank space to match your party theme.
- Chocolate fountains & Pick ‘n’ Mix candy buffets are a must for the evening sweetie. Just don’t tell your dentist!
- Remember, loads of stylish backdrops are available to make your celebration look different from the rest! Talk to us about options.
It’s all possible, just let us know what you’d like to do and leave the rest to us!
