With a totally professional attitude and the emphasis squarely on FUN, I do all I can to ensure that your event is one that will be successful, memorable and unique. I can personalise your event to your own requirements, and can supply the look that suits you best, whether it is a small, discreet setup with subtle lighting, a standard Disco rig or a full-on mobile Club Experience with Laser show, Moving Heads, Strobe etc. Just ask for details.

On the business side, you have the peace of mind knowing you are dealing with a real professional. Your bookings are confirmed correctly, with proper paperwork, and plenty of opportunity to discuss YOUR requirements.

Excellent quality equipment, properly maintained and with full certification, Public Liability Insurance, a vast music collection and a great attitude all go to ensure that you have chosen the best Disco for your function!!

Mobile Discos often get a bad rap, and this is can be deserved. Every week I get phone calls from people wanting a last minute disco, because the DJ has let them down, or the venue has refused them access for not having the right paperwork. In fairness most of these discos are cheap as chips guys working for pocket money or beer money. They usually aren't tax-registered, their equipment is old and can be unreliable, and they work when and if they want to. Its no wonder they go elsewhere if offered an extra 10 or so, or are hung-over from the night before, or just cant be bothered. I am amazed though that someone who has spent good money on venue, catering and then invited their closest friends and family would risk the whole night by booking someone like this! Its a lottery, and although some of these guys are pretty good, and very experienced DJs, is it really worth the risk? It's often said, but you usually do get what you pay for, and Quality isn't expensive, it's priceless!

However, at Colin's Disco I do things VERY differently. I bring my years of management and business experience to the Disco industry. This is MY business, MY income and MY reputation, and those are not things I take lightly. Because of this I act in a totally professional manner. My equipment is modern, clean and properly maintained. All bookings are confirmed with contracts, I have PAT Certification and Public Liability Insurance. I operate a dedicated vehicle, which is legally and correctly insured for my business. I have RAC cover in case of breakdowns, am a major contributor on one of the leading DJ Forums and have a network of reliable, professional colleagues in case of illness or injury, am registered with the Inland Revenue, CRB Checked, a member of the National Association of Disc Jockeys and the Musicians Union. I have enough equipment that a breakdown at one gig wont leave me short at the next one!

So - if you really want the cheapest disco regardless of quality then I am probably not the person to contact. However, if you want a professional, reliable DJ or disco at a fair price, you might be surprised at how little the cost of peace of mind.
