Silverball Leisure

In the words of "Praise You"
🎵We've come a long long way together 🎵

I've not posted anything on this page in quite some time, but despite retiring from DJing, the Silverball brand lives on.

In 1988 I fancied DJing, bought the kit bit by bit and started. Initially it was the usual - 18ths, family parties etc, then I moved into weddings, and found that I was really good at them!
Family discos at a tennis club in Woking changed my style, then came bouncy castles as Silverball Bounce was created, and at the same time Tasha started Silverball Kids

Now it's Wedding Butler alongside my freelance hospitality work, and Silverball Country with my country music partner Francesca.

Don't worry, I'm going to keep posting here, I've got 35 years of memories and stories that I want to write down.

If you're still here, please stay for the stories, but maybe pop over and follow the other pages, and perhaps help to spread the word!

There's a new service and a whole lot of people who I can help to have a fabulous and special day

Give me a hand with that?

Today is (apparently) ,

Although I have now hung up my headphones, I couldn't be more proud of everything that I achieved in 35 years as a DJ, for parties, Weddings, Fetes, special events and even Hospital Radio. I have spent most of my life helping people to celebrate landmark events and and giving people a good time. Many gigs stand out in my mind, although DJing the after parties at Millport Country Music Festival in 2019 was an absolute career highlight (we were even on the festival line up posters!)

I now carry on that career, but as Wedding Butler, and taking care of brides and grooms on their most special day is absolutely the best job in the world!

Thank you to all who have been on this journey with me, thank you to those who have worked under the Silverball brand, and a big shout out to all the DJs who have, like me, loaded the speakers into the van at 1am in the pouring rain!

What a ride!

Wedding showcase time!

Tell me - what did you look for at a wedding fair? What was your best experience?

It's been a while! What's happening with Silverball Leisure? Well, after 35 years as an events and wedding DJ, last year I decided to hang up the headphones - something I really never thought I'd do.

It was a blast, it really was, and I have some INCREDIBLE memories from it all, and so many clients that I now call friends. If you were part of that journey - thank you. If you at any stage worked with me or helped me - thank you.

Is it over?

HELL NO!

My focus now is on the Wedding Butler. using all that 35 years of experience to make wedding days perfect for the Bride and Groom as well as running Silverball Country with my best friend. There is still some DJing - playing the after parties for a festival was a career highlight - and I'll never get rid of the kit, so for the right event....

This page lives on - as the "parent company" for all I do, so keep following, but do please have a look at the Wedding Butler page and maybe, if you know someone getting married - give them my details.

35 years done - here's to the next 35!

Thanks for being with me on this journey!

To all my wonderful followers - a favour please! Emily Lockett is a very talented singer songwriter from Staffordshire who should be seen more widely! She has a chance to open for a fabulous UK Country artist on her upcoming UK tour - Jade Helliwell

Please watch this video and if you like what you hear (Its Emily covering Jade's song) give it a like (on the original) and perhaps a share

You could - if you want - then follow both artists on Spotify, then join us on Jade's tour, details on her page!

Have I ever let you down before?
