I've emailed a list of requests to the DJ. It was divided into three. Songs requested by guests. Songs that I think would be good to play. Songs that I absolutely want played.
The DJ, on the one occasion we spoke, sounded like a decent man. There is a stereotype of the wedding DJ, the man would couldn't get on radio, the man one step away from children's parties, the wacky, the loud, the full of himself. And he did not seem to meet any of those stereotypes.
OK, so they may not be stereotypes, they may actually be prejudices. I'll admit it.
Anyway, his emailed reply suggested that the first two lists would not be a problem, however he said he did not have copies of any of my non-negotiable list. This is not a huge surprise. Instead it is a mild surprise. Some of them are most unlikely to rear their semi-ugly heads at weddings but I did think that one or two might have appeared.
So, here's the list:
You Make Me Brave - Billy Bragg (first dance)
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight - Bob Dylan (second dance)
She Bangs The Drum - The Stone Roses
Sea of Love - Phil Phillips
What You Do To Me - Teenage Fanclub
Enjoy Yourself - The Specials
An Audience With the Pope - Elbow
Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher - Jackie Wilson
We'll Find Our Own Way - Gene (last dance)
Now what could be so weird about that lot?
