Nick was the founding member of Starsound Entertainment back in 1981. With an investment of £1,000 and a mate to help move the equipment he brought a cheap and cheerful FAL twin deck and three small lighting effects, then it was off to the record shop (remember those things?) buying the top twenty singles and the top ten albums, and asking all mates and family if they had any records they didn’t want any more, then he got a cheap transit van to move the gear around and that was the money gone.
So with no money and no bookings it was time to make a few calls to some pubs, after a day or two the Fur and Feathers in Herriard said that they would give him a go on a Saturday night, so that was the first gig for Nick back in 1981, during the 80’s he was also doing the Disco’s for the Dukes Head in Alton, The White Hart in Holbourne, Tree Horse Shoes in Worldham and the Wheel Club in Four Marks along with other booking’s picked up along the way. Then in 1985 he got a call from the Grange Hotel in Alton they had been let down and asked if he was available, as luck would have it he was; it was a wedding reception for 80 guests so of he went suited and booted in the clapped out Transit van with mate in tow, the gig went really well the Bride and Groom were pleased and the guests were asking for business card‘s, and the Hotel offered more and more work, and Starsound Entertainment have now been the resident DJ's there for more years than we care to remember.
Things have changed a bit since those day’s we now have a music collection of around 100,000 tracks, and no we don’t use those old Fal twin decks any more and we have a few more light’s than just the three these day’s, in fact the set up now has gone from the £1,000 it cost to start to around £30,000 now and are always updating. We have worked with various bands and groups; in January 2008 we played along side N-Dubz for an 18th Birthday foam party.
So if your unsure if Starsound Entertainment are suitable for your type of function then Nick or one of the other DJ's will be happy to discuss your requirements.
