What does a typical Irish disco consist of?

Our DJ's are very experienced, knowledgeable and customer friendly. Their mission is to provide you with a great nights entertainment. Our DJ's use only the latest and best equipment to ensure quality of sound. Basic lighting is also included along with a vast selection of music to match all tastes. The selection of Irish music we have available is vast and covers all kinds of Irish music with all your favourites ranging from acts such as Christy Moore, The Saw Doctors, The Waterboys, Daniel O'Donnell, Brendan Shine, Dominic Kirwan, Declan Nerney, Van Morrisson, The Corrs, Mary Black, The Dubliners, The Wolfe Tones, U2 and many more besides!

Do they only play Irish music?

Yes and no. It's all about the bookers wishes and specifications. The DJ will discuss with the booker prior to the event, the types of music required. Most functions that we supply tend to mix the music up a bit, particularly towards the latter part of the evening when it's fairly standard to switch over to a lot of the disco classics that are ideal for getting everyone out onto the floor dancing. We can also supply great disco's for NON Irish music functions.

How long does the Disco play for?

A standard minimum booking is for 4 hours. This can vary and be longer depending on the needs of the booker.

What area's does your agency cover and do your Disco's travel?

We cover almost anywhere. Many of our Disco's are based in the London and home counties but we have others based in various regions of the country. We can send Disco's literally anywhere to venues and functions in both the UK and abroad. We work on the principle of 'distance is no object'.

My party is a happy event and I don’t want a lot of sad and dreary songs played nor too many traditional jigs and reels, can you make sure the DJ keeps it lively and happy?

>Top

Yes, of course. You have control over the music played, by stating your wishes when you confirm your booking. You will also be able to discuss your needs with the DJ prior to the event and of course you can make requests on the night too.

I will have lots of English guests at my party so I don’t want to offend anyone with any Rebel songs, can you make sure this isn’t an issue?

Rebel songs are not played at any functions or gigs by our DJ's unless the booker has specifically asked for them, so rest assured that won’t be a problem!

I have my own music and it’s all stored on my iPod, can the DJ play it through his system?

Yes, no problem. We can arrange for the DJ to play your Ipod through his sound system as well as your own edited MP3 cds or normal format cds. Please let us know if that's part of your needs when making your enquiry or booking.

Do you take bookings at short notice?

Yes, we can often arrange to get an act for you within 24 hours of a booking or even on the same day!. If your booking is urgent call us right away on 0845 226 5324.

Is an Irish Disco suitable for Irish wedding music entertainment?

An Irish Disco for an Irish wedding is normally a perfect match! Because a wedding crowd is usually very diverse and varied, it needs a broad range of musical material to keep everyone happy and dancing. The great thing about a Disco is that you can arrange for the DJ to play any type of music whatsoever. We also have some great live Irish music acts that play at weddings too. To find out more visit our Irish weddings page.

How do your DJ's dress?

Depends on the event. Smart dress or casual is the norm. If it's a 'dressy' occasion the DJ will dress aptly.

How is my booking confirmed and paid for?

Once your booking is made and the details of your needs clarified, we will put all of the details on a simply understood agreement which is normally ratified by a deposit and signed copy of the agreement. This constitutes a legal contract between you and the act that will give you the peace of mind that everything is confirmed in writing. We normally accept payment via cheque or bank transfer. We can also accept deposit payments via credit cards, switch, solo or maestro. The balance of the contracted fee is normally paid in cash on the day to the act. If you prefer, you can pay for the booking in full by credit or debit card at the time of booking.

Are your fees all inclusive? Are there any 'extras'?

The fees quoted are what you will pay in total unless there is an extra travel cost involved, in which case you will be advised of this at the time of booking and it will be included clearly in your booking agreement. Travel costs are kept to a minimum. If the booking is long distance and an overnight stay is required for the act then this will also be negotiated separately with the booker and included in the agreement. We have no hidden costs and we do NOT charge any booking or arrangement fees. VAT is NOT applicable unless the act is VAT registered, which is rare and if they were we'd advise you of that at the time of booking.

How far ahead do I need to make a booking?

There's no set time although it's often best to book up as far ahead as possible. Don't worry though, we often arrange bookings at very short notice.

How do I make a booking?

Just call us on 0845 226 5324, fill out our online enquiry form or email us . Either way we promise to respond to your enquiry very promptly! When you make the booking we provide you with a 'plainspeak' agreement that will include all of the terms and conditions applicable to your booking. You simply check it through, assuming it's all correct then sign and return it to us either by scanning and emailing it or via post. We'll normally ask for a deposit that's deductible from the agreed fee of which the balance is normally payable on the night.

I may also need Irish dancers and or an Irish disco, can you arrange it all for me?

Absolutely. We can coordinate the event for you and take the hassle and headache out of it all by arranging everything. We can also provide a PA for hire at the function if required. For more information on all of our Irish entertainment options please use the links menu on our home page

Do you charge me an extra fee for arranging the booking?

No. As an agency (in the vast majority of cases) we make our cut via commission paid to us by the act from their overall fee. If there were any booking or management fee involved this would be negotiated by separate arrangement with you and included clearly within the terms and conditions of any such agreement.
