"I felt that the DJ had not catered for music requests which was a mixture of old and new. He appeared to be grumpy and did not connect with the room at all. When he left he did not even say goodbye. As it was such a small party I don;t think he attempted to get people dancing, which I feel is part of his job especially when there is a mixed age range." | |||
