I used John for my 30th birthday party and he was amazing. Never played the same song twice and had people up dancing all night. We had a range of ages from children to early 80's and he managed to get them all dancing at some point in the night. Would definitely recommend to anyone, thanks John x

We chose John (New Forest DJ services) for our 40th birthday party. He was brilliant, just what we wanted as he noted the music that we liked to listen to and was easily able to complement our list with just the right kind of music. John is a very nice guy, really friendly and genuine, and has a realistic pricing structure to boot; many thanks again! Sarah and Julian Ward.

John is a lovely chap who takes time to listen and get the playlist just right for any occasion. His knowledge of music is exemplary and he has a huge range of tracks to choose from. His set up is state of the art and he keeps abreast of new developments in DJ technology. His vinyl offering Retro Grooves is I believe unique in the south Hampshire area and not to be missed. I fully recommend John as your ideal DJ at your next event.
