FEED THE DJ8pm-12am £free entry

FEED THE DJ is a completely new concept. No longer do you have to sit and listen to what the DJ wants to play. You now Feed The DJ. Any style of music is cool, it’s all about YOU. You give the DJ a memory stick of tunes before 8pm (at least an hour’s worth), you book a timeslot (first come first served), the DJ plays your tunes for the hour, during which time you and your party get drinks promos for that hour. The DJ mix is then polished, uploaded online the next day, and you’re given instructions to download your own personal mix.
