Alan Garner.....The Story So Far.....

Alan Garner Professional DJMusic and entertainment have always played a large part in my life, from the age of 5 I have played the organ / keyboards, between the ages of 9-15 I played out regularly at local clubs and old peoples homes in and around the Fenland area, unfortunately due to the pressure of my impending GCSE examinations the live performing had to take a bit of a back seat, I still play now and again, but only for enjoyment (and driving my partner mad)

It was around the age of 15 that I worked through the summer holidays, saving like mad, to purchase my first pair of DJ turntables, from that moment I was hooked and I was determined to become a DJ.

From then on I slowly built the Mobile Disco up and performed at small parties and events, gaining valuable experience of all types of event.

Since 1996 I have been a fully self employed professional DJ, since the beginning I have worked numerous corporate events and private celebrations.  Please see below for a list of venues that have previously worked at.

I have also gained much experience as a compere for theatre shows (Dream Concerts) appearing in Theatres across the country from the South (Eastbourne, Bournemouth), the South West (Taunton, Swansea) to the North (Motherwell, Oldham, Bridlington etc).

As well as working as a mobile travelling DJ and Disco, I have much experience working in nightclubs, bars and fun pubs throughout East Anglia and the whole of the South East.  Since 1996 I have worked at least one night a week in residency for both independent operators and also large corporate chains, including Yates Wine Lodges and Luminar Leisure.

My connection with the entertainment industry does not end at working as a professional DJ, since leaving college i have worked as an entertainment consultant and event manager, this involves advising all types of clients from brides to be through to corporate clients, advising and sourcing all types of entertainment for weddings, corporate parties, national promotions and other promotional events.  I can advise on all types of entertainment, should you require further information please contact me.

Since 2003 I have regularly reviewed brand new disco equipment for International DJ magazine (www.i-dj.co.uk).  Each month the latest products are sent to me, to write a review from a travelling DJ's point of view, from a single disco light, through to large sound systems, radio mics and everything in between are tested at gigs and given an honest review following it's road test.

Recently I fancied a new challenge and I'm learning to play the bass guitar, it's definitely more difficult than I expected, but I'm sure it'll get much easier!

Here's a list of just some of the venues where I have worked since 1996.

Waldorf Hotel, The Riverbank Park Plaza & Cafe Royal in Central London, Castle Ashby, Northampton, The Alton Towers Hotel & Conference Centre, Staffordshire, The DeVere Dunstan Hall Country House Hotel & Golf Club, Norwich, The Bedford Lodge Hotel, Newmarket, many hotels in the Holiday Inn Group, Stapleford Park Country House and Hotel, The Hilton Metropole, The DeVere Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth, Birmingham and many other 3,4,5 star hotels right across the country,
