Thank you sooooo much for doing our party for us, you killed it (in a good way lol), lots of excellent feedback from the other guests so I just thought I'd fire you an email to thank you personally, everybody went home utterly broken from dancing all night, well done bud and more than happy to pass your details on if I know anyone looking for a dj. Thank you so much Jason

Good Afternoon, We had Gary play for my step dad’s 40th surprise birthday party. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Most DJs have a generic playlist that they play. However, Gary went above and beyond asking what songs were my step dad’s favourite. He even asked what song we would like him to play to my step dad walking in. Gary was very friendly and approachable and also joined in with the laughs. Me and my partner would also like to do a special thanks to Gary for the time he spent with our son. Our son is 12 years old who suffers with severe ADHD and is into DJing and Decks. Gary took the time to show our son some of the ropes which made our sons night. Again thank you soo much, I would highly recommend Gary for any venues you may have coming up. Me and my partner and getting married in sept next year and we will definitely book Gary out for this if he is free. 5star rating from us! Kind regards Hayley
