About 20th Century Sounds
20th Century Sounds is DJmark accredited at Gold level. What does this mean?
"Thank you for a great night!"
"Please let me introduce you to 20thcenturysounds.
I set this up in the summer of 1977 to turn a hobby into a business. My first booking was for factory workers of Performance Plastic Bacup and the surrounding neighbourhood, set in their canteen to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. My next-door neighbour was a manager there which is how I got the gig!
I started out with a set of Squire twin decks bought from my mum's catalogue, one light, a sign and a box of records and 20th Century Sounds was born!
30 years later we're still going strong minus the long hair and plus a few extra pounds. The equipment's changed a bit too - gone are the twin decks and singles and in are CDs, mp3s, mixers, loads of lights and lasers and miles of cables etc.! - still, you get the picture.
So if you're looking for a professional DJ with bags of experience and equipment at a reasonable cost, drop us a line."

"Despite the venue letting us down the DJ agreed to change the date at the last minute which suited both parties. He came and saw us TWICE at no extra cost and played what we wanted. He also took photos of the event and sent them to us - again at no extra cost. Everyone had a brill night!"

"We were very pleased with the way the party was handled by the DJ and his female assistant. They encouraged the children to get involved in games and dances so no-one got bored. The music was great and the DJ had decorated his deck in a Halloween theme - nice and unexpected. We have pencilled him in for the same weekend next year!"

Carole Turner hired 20th Century Sounds to perform at a Birthday - Adult Other event at The Red Herring in Chorley (PR7) on 18/05/2013.
"A DJ can make or break your party and I have to say that Russell definitely helped to make mine. The feedback I have had from guests has been extremely positive with a couple even saying it was the best party they've been to in years! Thanks Russell"
Denise Hutchinson hired 20th Century Sounds to perform at a Birthday - Adult 50th event at Bankfield Hotel Bingley in Bingley (BD16) on 25/05/2013.
"Russell and Dawn were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I had been let down by another DJ and really appreciated the fact that Russell didn't take advantage of this, making a reasonable charge for the event. I also think the idea of Dawn taking photographs is a fabulous idea. They have provided me with a wonderful record of my party. I will definitely recommend not only 20th Century Sounds but also the needadisco website. In hindsight I wish I'd known about the site before I booked the apparently rogue DJ."
