ROGUE DJ

BELOW IS AN EXCERT FROM AN ARTICLE ON WATCHDOG REGARDING A ROGUE DJ.

14 November 2007

When we first spoke to Edwards in October last year, he promised the problem had been sorted. But six months on, we were receiving the same complaints. And now it isn’t just children he’s been letting down, it’s brides too.

Adam and Lisa Shepherd booked Alus Entertainment for their wedding reception in May. They paid their deposit and were due to pay the remainder on the night. Their DJ turned up an hour late and instantly demanded more money than had been agreed.

Next, he didn’t have the song they’d specifically requested weeks before for their first dance. Then the music kept cutting out throughout the night. Edwards promised them a refund, but it never arrived.

Joanne and James Prewett paid over £200 for their wedding disco, but on the day they were jilted. Their Aplus Entertainment DJ was a no-show. They had to create their own DIY disco with an iPod. Joanne was devastated: “There’s still very much a part of me that was crying on my wedding day.”

We spoke to Birmingham Trading Standards and were told: “He’s among the worst that we’ve seen.” In August, Birmingham Trading Standards obtained an undertaking from Edwards under the Enterprise Act. If he breaks this, it intends to take him to court, and “if he doesn’t run it properly from now on he can be imprisoned, ultimately, or fined”.

We booked Aplus Entertainment to provide a DJ for our (pretend) wedding disco. Edwards promised to come in person, but he didn’t know all the guests were people he had let down in the past.

On the night he sent two other DJs along. We called Edwards and persuaded him to come down and see the people he’d disappointed. Once he’d arrived, Edwards agreed to deal with our guests one by one. Months of anger poured out of his frustrated customers. He offered many people refunds.

Edwards told Watchdog he had an 85 per cent success rate and his problems are Watchdog`s fault, because we wouldn’t leave him alone. He insists things are improving and he’ll investigate each case that we’ve reported and offer refunds, where appropriate.
