J.W.Canon booked the splendid Banstead Downs Golf Club for they're Christmas meal and Disco for all the staff this year.Real Thing Discos were booked to play a background of Christmas music whilst the guests sat down and enjoyed their festive food.There were around 100 gueats who had all arrived for drinks in the bar just gone 7pm and sat down to eat around 7.45pm,spirits were good and the guests enjoyed listening to a mixture of Christmas songs throughout the years such as Mud-Lonely this Christmas,Dana-Cold,cold Christmas without you,Maria Carey-All i want for Christmas is you,Shakin' Stevens-Merry Christmas everyone,Greg Lake-I believe in Father Christmas,The Ronettes-Frosty the snowman,All alone at Christmas,Paul Macartney-Pipes of Piece,John Lennon-Happy Christmas war is over.Jona Lewie-Stop the cavalry,Boney M-Mary's Boy child,Johnny Matthis-A child is born,Wham-Last Christmas,Pogues-A fairy tale of New York,Band Aid-Do they know it's Christmas and as the guests were having they're desserts and more drinks i played the classic Slade and Roy Wood tracks.
The music was muted for 10 or so minutes whilst the company drew the raffle and then there was a mini auction which included the wonderful prize of a private plane trip,in all over a thousand pounds was raised for a local Sutton charity.The venue,because of it being situated in a residential area had to be clear of guests by midnight,so we had to stop the music just after 11.30pm in order for this to happen.There was about an hour for me to fit in a selection of songs for the party occassion from the Mavericks,Michael Jackson,The supremes,Four Seasons,Justin Timberlake,Jess Glyne,Madness,Dpeche Mode.Lastlyn a couple more Christmas songs and finishing with the Monkees-Daydream believer followed by the Elvis Presley classic The Wonder of You.
A great crowd to work for and great staff to ensure they're night went well.Christams DJ at work
