Last night wanting to chill out over the weekend and listen to tunes but as i remembered advert for BBC showing Top of The Pops from when it started in 1964 on BBC Four.So last night on to BBC Four at 9pm to watch it and it was brilliant.Yes last night they showed it from 1964 to 1975 and yes it ws my early young days infact it started a year before i was born.
You see music is my first love and music will be my last love.
For what i can remember we use to listen to music on mw/lw radio waves and mum and dad was the first in the village here to have a colour tv and yes each thursday night at 7.30pm me and my mates all watched Top of The Pops for the half hour it was on tv.
With last night watching it again the singers and the Djs and the great tunes was brilliant and great way to start my weekend of.
The groups what where from Beatles,Hot chocolate,Queen,Suzi Quatro,Three Degrees,Rod Stewart,T.Rex,Brotherhood of man,David Bowie, etc just brought back my memories what got me in to music.They where the ones and other bands what really kick started music for bands in the sixties and then seventies and eighties.Yes TOTP was the only chart music program what got a lot of bands the start the needed and all the audience across uk could see and hear them.
When i went to my first disco i think i was 13 and it was great but it was dj work that i liked. With watching TOTP last night and the djs what where on it was what i wanted to do is to dj and entertain people when i grew up.So being here at Eastriggs the local disco i went with him to each gig from weddings to birthdays all ages and i learned from set up and what to tunes to play and of course use mic aswell.
About a 3 years later did have some practice and in the local town and i got the chance to dj myself fro the first time in the Buck Inn and one tune what was my fav i started of with Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel come up and see me and make me smile. I first heard the tune when they released it in 1975 and since then been one of my favs and of course first time i DJ myself was the first tune i played brilliant or what.
Last night my weekend kick of in style with all the memories of watching TOTP on BBC Four
Since my young days yes i have DJ a lot in all occasions and all ages and night clubs,pups etc and different types of music aswell.
There was one night what i was really proud of when i was home think i was 18 then and knock at door and a band didnt turn up at club and asked if i could do the disco there.As i wasnt working that night i said yes and went round.But i had to come back home and get LPs from my mum and dad as the occasion was for OAP and there was 96 all in the big room and no band but a i could Dj but not disco tunes i needed from quick step to waltzs.So back home borrowed mum and dads LPs and then at club got started.To tell you see them all dance and really enjoy themselves as i think thy where all over 60 years old with the tunes i played made me so proud of myself at the end of the evening as they where so happy great.They booked me the next time had a few dances.
You see i cant sing but as Dj i learned from my young days and watching TOTP last night is where and how i learned to Dj .Over the years me to Dj and to any age groups any occasions and to make people enjoy themselves with my tunes and being on mic makes me feel proud.
I DJ when i can but as its my hobby as i do work through the day aswell when i get the chance but always music is me.
