So going back to the 13th April 1963. My parents tied the knot, and 60 years later, managed to notch up their diamond anniversary (although I saw no signs of any precious stones exchanging hands!) I was so proud to be part of their special event, happily performing DJ duties once more at The Leaside Hotel in Luton. Armed with just my laptop, and the venues own bluetooth speaker, we whipped up a storm with the showcase of playing music in the order of 1959. 60, 61, 62, 63 (x2), 64 and the odd one from 1965 to make up the numbers, which worked well for the majority of the night. Considering too that the average age must have been 75+, good to see a well attended night and I received so many compliments regarding the music played. Job well done I do believe!
