For your peace of mind we carry up to £10 million pounds worth of Public Liability Insurance cover and all equipment is regularly maintained, tested and certificated adhering to the Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing requirements set out by the H.S.E Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Health and Safety has now become one of the most primary concerns of any entertainer and Venue Manager and you, the client needs to know that when you book a Disco that their equipment satisfies all the legal requirements and we are one of very few Mobile Discos based in Leicestershire that can provide this documentation plus a Health and Safety certificate as proof of compliance. Although Public Liability is not a legal requirement, it is common sense to have it in the event of some form of accident or damage.In 1947, the Whiskey à Go-Go nightclub opened in Paris, France, considered to be the world's first discothèque, or disco (deriving its name from the French word, meaning a nightclub where the featured entertainment is recorded music rather than an on-stage band). Discos began appearing all over the world after that. In 1943, Jimmy Savile OBE launched the world's first DJ dance party by playing jazz records in the upstairs function room of the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherd's in Otley, Yorkshire and in 1947, he became the first DJ to use twin turntables for continuous play. Mobile Disc Jockeys are an extension of the original Radio disc jockeys. They travel with or go on tour with mobile sound systems and play from an extensive collection of recorded content for a specific audience. In the 2000s, the role of the Mobile DJ has expanded and they need a large selection of music, professional-grade equipment, good organizational skills, vocal talent as an MC, mixing skills, quality lighting, insurance for liability, and on-site back-up equipment. Many Mobile DJs have assumed additional responsibilities to ensure an event's success. These responsibilities include the roles of MC, event organizer and coordinator, lighting director, and/or sound engineer. During the Disco era of the 1970s, demand for Mobile Discos soared, and top Disc Jockeys travelled with hundreds of vinyl records and cassette tapes. In the 1990s, Compact Disc became the standard and nowadays, many Mobile DJs rely heavily on laptop computers and MP3s for sequencing and mixing. This technology allows DJs to do mixing prior to an event as well as lightening the load by reducing the number of CDs that a DJ must carry. Starting in the mid 1980s, the wedding reception business changed dramatically with the introduction of Disco music, replacing the bands that had been the norm and many musicians started Disco companies just like we did. Using their knowledge of audience participation, MC charisma and "crowd pleasing" repertory selection, the wedding music industry became almost all Disco, while combining the class and elegance of the traditional band presentation. New DJs as well as band members with years of experience and professionalism transformed the entire industry. Now everyone loves a good wedding DJ. The latest trend is to combine real musicians with a Mobile Disco for a more varied approach to please all the guests. Mobile Disc Jockeys have formed two main associations in the UK, the National Association of Disc Jockeys (NADJ), and the Mobile Disco Association (MDA) and you would be well advised to check if your chosen DJ is a member - WE ARE!
