Here he covers weddings and all sorts of corporate gatherings. John host karaoke on Tues nights at Harrigan’s and he also does the DJ work. We asked him his thoughts about what the perfect DJ is…

” Being able to read the crowds and keep that party going and also being down to earth with your patrons makes for a great DJ”, says John,
