Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.
I lived across the road from a small local social club that held family functions on a weekly basis and was fascinated by the look as a child at family parties and sound listening in my bedroom as the old building leaked like a sieve of mobile discotheques, from then on, that was my ambition, I was buying records at primary school and all through my teenage years playing music in my bedroom as a 'DJ' but with no equipment, only a small HiFi system as money was tight back then.
I attended our youth club and found they used a double-deck disco unit!, all my Xmas's came at once. I was then the Youth club DJ playing every Friday night.
Time progressed then night clubs came along for a couple of years and out the blue the local Disco which used to play across the road from me was looking for a Roadie, success, the disco that I watched as a 5-year-old, I was going to go out with them on nights out which I only dreamed about.
Years went by, a family came along and around 8 years ago I was bitten by the Disco bug again and named the business Ace of Clubs Entertainment, emulated from The Ace of Clubs Roadshow founded 1973 from which my dream as a 5-year-old started.
So when they say do dreams come true, for me that was a yes!
Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?
In have had a few bookings from this organiser, the most recent to date was a function at an art gallery for the local NHS nurses xmas party
From the onset, the function room was on the top floor but there was a lift and a friend of mine offered to come along and help which was a godsend
The evening progressed with everyone up pretty quick for a boogie as the speeches went on and on and I am sure folk were itching to get up and have a good time
We lit the place like a night club and even the art gallery staff were so impressed that future bookings were made that night.
A massive thank -you was given by all the guests that swooped up all my business cards which was a good sign!
I would recommend Add to Event and recommend them to others to help increase business.
