Discos

I have many years experience, and my recommendation is not to mix barn dancing with a disco – it doesn’t work very well.

On the occasions when a disco is used at the end of an evening, there are invariably difficulties with space to accommodate both the disco and the band, and the band always have to remove all of their equipment in near dark and very loud conditions.

Also, the guests tend to leave fairly rapidly once the disco starts. For these reasons it is better to either have one or the other.
Be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
