Our first wedding of the week was for Samantha and Ian at their parents farm near to Shipston-on-Stour.
I went early to setup our evening dj package and separate PA system for the background music and speeches.
Unfortunately the power supply kept tripping due to another suppliers faulty electrics, which meant we were constantly having to swap power supplies from the generator to a long extension from the house, despite our best efforts this did lead to some gaps in our performance so really not ideal albeit not our doing!
The crowd were eager to dance as soon as the power issues were resolved and we worked our way through the brides request list with the occasional input from the brides sister.
