Today the 60 something's were teenagers in the 60s and the music played by the DJ should reflect this. However its often said that the teenager was invented in the 1950's and 60s so a DJ will be making a mistake thinking this age group will only like Elvis, the Rolling stones or the Beatles etc. In fact its just as likely that this age group will have current chart music loaded onto their ipod.
If you are looking forward to celebrating your 60th birthday party or are helping to plan a party for a friend then you need to think about the party entertainment. We know the top pop hits of the sixties and dance tunes that will get the party started. Our music selection is also right up to date and we can play a bit of everything in between. If there is a mix of ages in the audience then we have the ability to read a crowd and play the right music selection from the current charts back to the fifties and before.
Everyone loves to see loads of dancing at a party, but a party is also about catching with old friends and making new ones. For this reason its important the music is not too loud to start with so everyone can have time to have a chat. However in almost all parties there is a moment when the dance floor suddenly fills up and the party is then about the music. So a good DJ will play up tempo dance music, appropriate to the age range and musical tastes of the audience. To blend the music, ensuring everyone is happy takes a great deal of party experience. A younger less experienced party DJ can feel a out of their depth when playing for a much older age group. A 60th birthday party DJ will have to work hard when playing music tracks from the 1960s which are less familiar and normally quite short.
