Stargazer Discos have worked the length and breadth of the UK and have, on many occasions, sent DJs overseas. Up until recently we had never worked in Belgium.
We had a call from the Master of our local Masonic Lodge. He explained that once a year members of the Lodge go abroad for a no-expense-spared social weekend.
Last year they all took themselves off to Bruges. Everybody had a great time, they loved the hotel, thought the food was great and had a fantastic time sightseeing. It was so enjoyable that they decided to come back for more this year. The only “fly in the ointment” was the entertainment. Last year, they had asked the hotel to arrange a DJ for them ….
Clearly, the hotel receptionist to whom they spoke had no idea what sort of clients to expect. Anybody who has ever attended a Masonic function will tell you that the members are mostly well-spoken business people, aged between 35 and 65.
As they toddled along the corridor from the hotel restaurant to the “ballroom”, a deafening thumping noise started. They opened the door to find speakers stacked from floor to ceiling, strobes flashing and a lightshow “designed to impress.” A trendy looking, Flemmish-speaking, Techno DJ in his early 20’s was in charge of the decks !
He looked somewhat crestfallen when a bunch of middle aged English people walked into the room and told him in no uncertain terms to “Turn that racket down ! ” It was not really his fault, clearly he hadn’t been briefed properly by the hotel.
After establishing that house and techno were the only genres he carried and the volume of the music was unlikely to go any lower than mark 6 on the Richter scale, the guests decided to beat a hastly retreat to the nearest bar.
This year, it was a case of “once bitten, twice shy” - Rather than chance a similar fiasco, the Lodge members decided it would probably be better to use a professional disco company from London and take the DJ over to Belgium with them. Hence the call to Stargazer.
They booked 2 DJs from us, one for the Friday and one for the Saturday night. On the first evening it was a “music and general knowledge quiz” and on the second, a classic disco. The guests could not have been nicer. Everyone had a great time, including the pair of Stargazer deejays who ran the 2 events. We also had a chance, on the Sunday, to join the group for a spot of sightseeing around Bruges.
