This is to all those D.J's out there (Ok everyone!) - Care to share your best, bizarre, worse or all three moments with us? I'm pretty sure there must be some hilarious stories to be told.

I'll start the ball rolling —

Worse — I was D.Jing somewhere and I was just thinking the set was going "ËœA.O.K' and someone came up to ask for a request.....he said (Dead seriously)...."ÂCould you play something we like?"Â....Doh! - That threw me, I can tell ya! L

Bizarre - At the 100 Club in the 90's, I think I must have really "Ëœconnected' with one particular chap who was evidently at the height of his "ËœZone' - He leapt onto the stage, literally grabbed the mike off me and basically let everyone know he was "on top of the world!"Â — It wasn't only hilarious but also a great relief as I thought I was being attacked! Chantel (Beds) said she clocked it straight away and was ready to protect me bless her (and she was well capable of doing so!).....Somebody did later, to the poor ol' Boy's detriment but that's another story...let's just say, it don't matter how much you're enjoying yourself, you simply MUST remember "Ëœdance floor etiquette' or you may live to regret it....especially if my friend is about!

Best — "ËœPlaying Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes - Praying' at The Isle Of White Mod Rally (80's) The Mods were very "Ëœnon plussed'...But Danny Huff and The Ugly Bugglies imploded and tore up that dance floor! (I think they may have been at the height of their "Ëœzone' also! lol) Great stuff.

Another story, loosely connected with D.Jing (Promoting) I was at The Embankment Club (a local soul event I used to run) one "Ëœlegendary' night. Firstly (Which is fine) This chap asked me if I'd been before, to which I replied "A couple of times but I don't think much to the place"Â - Yep, my "Ëœirony' was "Ëœrife' even back then....(no wonder I never made very many friends over the years)....Anyway, then the guy pointed at Nina (my wife) and asked "Is she spare?"Â — I had to stop my "Ëœirony' kicking in again as I soooo wanted to reply "Yup, go for it Solder"Â (What a bizarre way of asking if someone's single!)

All the best,

Len

A few years a ago I was DJing at an event where I was to play 2 sets , one early evening and one later on .

As I'm always running to the toilet if I'm drinking pints of beer so I had the bright idea of drinking red wine instead ...... not a great idea .

I took the stage to do my second set completely 3 sheets to the wind , even though I remember little of it apparently I got through it OK with no mess ups until the end when I tripped over someones box of records and did some sort of forward flip / forward roll from the stage to the dance floor and somehow landed on my feet again .

People actually thought it was some kind of dance move  

at keele one night been to the toilet and was chatting to somebody cant remember who, walk into main room tim ashibendi was djing and i said tim "can you play Lorraine chandler i cant change " he turned laughed" peter can i have some of what you have had" as he was putting it back into its sleeve as it had only just played it .what a melon i felt
