Angela and Gavin October 2011
I was sound checking at a wedding when Angela noticed me. She asked me for a business card and then got in touch and ended up booking me to perform at the wedding.
You never know how the weather is going to be in October but what a day of sunshine they had. Really good for the photos.
Angela had asked me to provide the ceremony music for them, which was nice. I got to see the whole day. She chose the three all important songs. She came in to Elbow ‘One day like this’ what a beautiful song! Its quite a long track so really good for those long aisle walks. She had a Westlife track ‘I DO’ for the signing of The registrar, this song is not so well known but perfect for the moment, then we had a little bit of Take That ‘Rule The World’ to walk out to, what a tune!
With the service done and dusted I was free to start setting up for the evening. Normally the DJ or singer would set up in the Ledger room. I personally HATE this, I feel that the room distances me from the rest of the party and it’s hard to get the atmosphere going unless you have loads of guests! So instead I set up in the middle room. Inglewood manor are great and let me just do what I think is best.
The set up looked mint! All the guests commented on how pretty the room looked and I think Angela was pleased. Please see my photos below. Performing in the middle room allowed me to get involved and get the dancefloor going. The audience was a cross between dancers and some who just wanted to listen to the music, either was fine by me.
The night seemed to fly by so fast. Lonestar AMAZED was the first dance. This is quite a popular first dance track but it’s a CLASSIC, always goes down well and I enjoy performing it.
We finished the night off with some cracking chart music and I closed the evening with Hold On by Michael Buble, one of Angela’s requests.
Hope they both have a wonderful time together on their honeymoon and good luck with the future.
Biggest dancer of the night goes to there little daughter, she never moved from the floor…..!
