Alistair DJ'd for our recent Sales Conference. He was super easy to communicate with throughout. He read the room and had the dance floor filled for the entire evening. Would highly recommend and will definitely use Alistair again for future events.

Alistair DJ'd for our wedding at The Great Tythe Barn this May and was absolutely brilliant. Alistair was responsive, easily accessible and was more than happy to speak with us beforehand to go over the night. On the night itself, there wasn't a single song without a full dance floor. Alistair's playlist and reading of the room kept all of our guests dancing all night, many of whom normally hate dancing! So many of our guests commented on how good Alistair's set up was and on his endless selection of dancefloor filling tunes. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our night. Thank you, Alistair!

Literally the best possible DJ we could have asked for. We’re an alternative couple who love Metal, Hip-Hop and Indie music, our friends included folks who are into EDM, R’n’B and Garage and a lot of our friends and family are much older and prefer Soul, 80’s and Motown, a tall order for any DJ and yet EVERY GENRE WAS COVERED. The dance floor was full for the entire evening with banger after banger being tailored so well to us and our guests that it was jaw dropping. Somehow Andy managed to play a tonne of tracks that would have been obscure at other weddings, but were pitched perfectly for us. Afterwards, pretty much everyone who we spoke to commented on how amazing the DJ was. We literally cannot recommend him enough, an absolute master of his craft and an extremely nice, pleasant and easy fellar to work with.
