About David Munro

 
This page is here to tell you a bit about me and my personal life.

I am 28 and live in south Lanarkshire with my wife and my dog Mia ,I have been a DJ for around ten years but now specialise in wedding and corporate entertainment. I also have an 8 year old son who is also starting to show an interest in music. I was brought up in a small village in Lanarkshire called Cleland where the famous Sydney Devine was from although i don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

 
 
Growing up
 
I was always a massive fan of music and remember listening to the top 40 every Sunday on the radio to hear if there was anything new in the charts. My very first attempt at being a DJ was when I made up a few tapes ( yes tapes )  for my brothers birthday party when i was about ten .The old bush stereo with the bulbs in the speakers certainly did its job and managed to keep everyone amused for the 3 hour party.

Not long after this I bought a guitar with my pocket money and saved up for tutor books. Over the years I self taught myself guitar and was always singing although I at the time I never thought there would be a future in it.

 
When I started entertaining
 
When I was around 18 I started helping out a local party DJ for the experience, this moved on to me working for agencies before buying my own equipment. My first gig on my own was to cover a pub karaoke when the DJ had left. It was quiet but it gave me a chance to sing as much as I wanted and it must've been ok as I was offered the residency and that then moved to doing 4 karaoke's a week.

My first party was a18th in a small pubs function room, being of similar age at the time i knew what to play as it was all guests of that age with the family having there own party in the main bit of the pub.

My first wedding was for an agency and was a last minute booking as the DJ they were using let them down with a couple hours notice. The agency supplied all equipment and all I needed was CD's, the night was a massive success and I loved the atmosphere.....until, the old beat up cd players the agency supplied died on me on near the end of  the last song of the night ( loch lomond ) .........The crowd stopped and looked at me and without thinking I grabbed the mic and sang the last part of the song with no backing shouting to the crowd to join in. They thought it was deliberate and loved it. The bride had come up crying afterwards , hugged me and thanked me for a fantastic night and the great way that I finished the night. She had no idea it was due to the agencies equipment failing. I took on many repeat bookings from that wedding and 2 things happened.

I never did any more agency work using their equipment and I put all my effort into becoming a full time wedding DJ

 
 
Present day
 
 Recently over the years I looked at how I can improve what I do and how I can be different to every other DJ in the area, The first thing I changed was equipment, DJ sound and lighting has dramatically changed over the years so rather than using the standard " light boxes " I moved onto something that will look far more elegant and this is when I introduced Uplighting into central Scotland.

Attitude was something else that had to change, rather than playing what I want I read the crowd and listen to their requests. A Pre booking meeting in person is also a fantastic way of getting to know you to make sure your event is as personal to you as your wedding dress.

Professionalism, this is something that is lacking in the industry. Many DJ's will take on 3 or 4 events per night and take whatever ones closer to home. The other bookings are usually passed to inexperienced DJ's who may or may not do a good job. If you book "me" you get "me" . If I am unavailable I will tell you at the time of enquiry however I can always recommend a suitable alternative.

 
 
The future
 
 
I can honestly say that I love what I do , I get paid to make people happy and help make a brides dreams come true, I cant think of anything that will provide as much job satisfaction as what I do now. So with this in mind I will continue to offer a high level of personal and professional service , I am also the lead singer and manager of the wedding and function band " Nightlife " . I will be promoting the band as well as my DJ services and the Uplighting service as long as people still want to book me for their function.
 
 
Summary
 
If you've managed to read this far down then you will understand that music is my life, I take what I do very seriously and I am committed to ensuring your event a true success.

Most brides have been dreaming about their wedding from when they were little. So I believe its important for me to understand all the smaller details ,even if its something I cant help with I can usually point you in the right direction if need be.

I am not a sales rep nor will I try to pressure anyone into booking me at a meeting. If your not 100% happy then neither am I.
