The NED Such a cool place…. I had been DJing in Ibiza at the beginning of the week, so it was nice to have such a prestigious London corporate gig to come back to. The Client was a city firm celebrating its 8th birthday by inviting 150 brokers to an evening buffet and free bar. My role was to play background music to the mainly male guests, however when all the business talking was done, I upped the tempo and got them all dancing. The music that work was seemed to be funky / disco based tracks, as can be seen from the playlist below.
Here is what the client said the following morning:
Hope you are well this morning. Thank you so much for coming last night, we have had so many compliments about the evening and how wonderful and varied the music was.
I hope you got home quickly and safely yesterday evening and I am sure that we will no doubt be in touch with you for any future events.
I am looking forward to DJing again at The NED in London.
