This is Gary, the owner and main DJ at Shakermaker Promotions. Gary has been DJing for over 20 years and is an experienced professional DJ who has played to people all over the country at various functions and has received rave reviews for his performances. He has played with Robbie Williams in the past and recently supported one of his heroes, Gary Numan! Gary has an enviable natural skill of being able to get the party going with ease. He loves his 70's and 80's music and his collection of music from that era is huge. He has a great personality which is exactly what you need at your function and is also very 'request friendly'. He is very accomodating and nothing is too much trouble for him. He is more than happy to help and advise in any way that he can to ensure that your function lives up to your expectations.

Gary started Shakermaker Promotions as a business in Ferbuary 2005 and hasn't looked back since. The business has grown into something special simply by giving it's customers exactly what they want and that's superb quality disco entertainment at very competitive prices. "..I'd been to lots of parties myself over the years and always thought that I could do better..!" says Gary..."It also looked like a chore to some of the DJ's I had seen, almost as if they couldn't be bothered to be there and were just thinking of the money..." he continues..."It didn't impress me and still doesn't and one of the most important things in this business is customer service and giving the customer the best possible entertainment that you can. I always give 110% no matter what the function is and I have never ever had a complaint.....ever!" .

Now that sounds very impressive and is backed up by numerous comments about Gary's work in the FEEDBACK section of this website. "Feedback is very important to a business like this..." says Gary,..." You can spend lots of money on advertising in various publications etc but word of mouth and recommendations in my opinion, is the best form of advertising that there is. Not everyone will contact you after their function but those that go out of their way to compliment you...well, it means a lot and is much appreciated. I do many different types of functions throughout the year and each one is approached with the same dedication. I also get a lot of repeat bookings. I have found that in this business, when a customer gets great service they are happy to recommend you. You can't ask for more than that".

As mentioned, Customer Service is the most important thing in Gary's view and one of the things that works really well is when he takes the time to go out and see the customers before their functions to go through every detail...."I see it as going that extra mile for them. I find that it puts them at ease, gives them the confidence that they have picked a professional company and my main aim when I leave them is to leave them smiling and looking forward to their function more than ever. It doesn't matter whether it's a small birthday party or a wedding, I treat each booking with 110% dedication because the customer is the most important thing".

The Disco Entertainment business is very competitive but it's the personal approach that makes Shakermaker Promotions stand out from other operators..."In my opinion, EVERYTHING COUNTS (as Depeche Mode once said!), there are lots of Mobile Disco operators around so providing a top quality service is very important. From the initial phone call or email, I always try to give as much information to the customer as I possibly can. Some people have never booked a Disco before so you really need to help them and put them at ease. I know a number of other DJ's that simply quote a price and they don't give the customer any information on what they are getting for their money. Mobile Discos have had some bad press over the years for one reason or another and I do my best to get as far away from that 'Cheesy' image as I possibly can. Shakermaker Promotions is my business and it's something that I have always wanted to do and that's to give people a great time by playing the music that they WANT to hear and not what I THINK they want to hear. I am very 'Request Friendly' and welcome requests in advance and on the night as well as playlists. It's amazing just how many DJ's there are out there that don't or won't do this. The pre-function meetings that I organise with the customers in advance of their functions is a good way of finding out their expectations for their function and to go through specific song requests, timings, announcements during the evening but more importantly, to put them at ease and to find out what they DON'T want. If someone books ME for a function, they get me!!"
