Indie Wedding Fair @ FiveFour Studios 25.02.18


It was a pleasure to DJ for The Indie Wedding Fair on a bright February Sunday in Salford. Representing Wedding Jam Manchester, myself and Naomi shared a stand with the boys from Neuron Pro Audo. It was an atmospheric day for all in attendance at FiveFourStudios.

The Indie Wedding Fair curated an inspiring event and FiveFourStudios is certainly a fantastic space – a very unique venue for a city wedding. Check out their site here www.fivefourstudios

It was great to work with Neuron again, I’ve not seen much of them since investing in my own PA, but they are the go-to guys for a decent rig, whatever the size – from a small intimate wedding, to a full-on festival! Take a look at their impressive work here www.neuronproaudio.co.uk

It was a nice surprise to turn up and realise that I’d be playing music on such a fab sound system…

I’ve seen these stunning Void Acoustics Air Motion horns over the last few years. They do sound as good as they look!

I really enjoyed playing an interpretation of ‘indie’ music, old and new, to future brides, grooms, their family and friends, as well as those exhibiting their wedding wares. With this in mind, I couldn’t play music too loudly as stall holders had to be able to talk to prospective customers, although this wasn’t too diffictult with such a good sound, engineered so professionally by Neuron to suit the acoustics of the space perfectly.

All in all, it was a top day. Naomi did Wedding Jam proud again, talking to potential clients, while I played a soundtrack to suit the event… nothing too boring or banging! It was more about setting a friendly and inviting mood than DJing at a wedding. Some of the best feedback I received was from stallholders who’d been there for the full 5 hours; we even had a little dance when we pumped the volume right up for The Pixies as the event drew to a close.
