I've got a disco to do this Saturday for the "Three Shires Traditional North West Style Clog & Garland Dancers"
They have asked for Country Folk & Old Time Music !
I know I've left it a bit late, but any suggestions?
The only one's I can think of are:
Billy Ray Cirus - Achy Breaky Heart. LeAnne Rhimes. Shania Twain.
Thinking about it the country part isn't too bad, I've got a couple of line dancing CD's somewhere too.
But what the hell is Folk Dancing? Where can I download some of that in time for Saturday?
As for the old time dancing, I've got a little bit from the bowling club and rotary club disco's I have done. Hope it won't come to the poin of having to play any!
Hope you can help! Cheers.

Well, I've just got in and survived it. What a long night !!!
Luckily the meal took forever, then they had a raffle so by the time it got round to the disco I only had just over 2 hours left.
I did manage to get them up with a bit of Waltz and the Fox Trot. There was one table with people under 40 on it so they keept putting a few requests in, so tried one or two modern songs too. A couple of them were quite fit too !! But Emma did come to see me, don't know if I will be seeing her again though? I wasn't really talkative or anything. She's got my number now, so just got to wait and see if she gets in touch?
It was really quite hard "work" tonight, as the songs they wanted were not 'disco' songs, so whenever I played another I had no idea what was going to happen on the dance floor. It's not like Djing in a pub. One wrong song and the whole lot sit down!
Like I say I got through it OK though, got one more weird one to do next week - Lindrick golf club Christmas dinner dance / presentation night. No one dances at that no matter what I play. I even did try some Waltz and stuff last year, and still no response. So no idea what I'm going to play next week? Oh well, after that it's into the proper Christmas parties where people get smashed and it's really funny. (Not to self - Snow machine needs filling up!).
Here's some of what I played in reverse order:

As you can see I didn't really fill their requests, but I think they all enjoyed the night. So the next time I have a 'disco' to do for old people that don't really want a disco what can I play? I found a Folk music CD out, but it was utter crap!

Suggestions for music to use for ballroom - I have given lots of suggestions, don't know how many you will need but if I list lots you have more chance of getting the music for some.
Waltz: If you don't know me by now Harold Melvin and the Blue notes Moon River ? The Magic of Love Russell Watson You light up my life Perry Como One hand one Heart Dionne Warwick Amore E Musica Russell Watson He was beautiful Shirley Bassey Love Ain't here anymore Take that.
Quick Step: Things Robbie Williams You do something to me Frank Sinatra Maneater Hall & Oates Hold your head up Argent Will you still love me tomorrow? Barbara Dixon? Love the one you're with Will Young
Foxtrot: They can't take that away from me Robbie Williams Have you met Miss Jones Robbie Williams Beyond the sea Robbie Williams All out of love Air Supply True loves ways Robson & Jerome
Jive: Croccodile Rock Elton John Adicted to Love Robert Palmer Love really hurts without you Billy Ocean Where did our love go Diana Ross & Supremes Up on the roof Robson & Jerome
