A Challenge (Of Sorts)

[LordLucifer]

This coming saturday, I'm hosting a trivia nite for my cricket club which should be attended by around 120-150 people. This audience will be a mixture of Life Members, Sponsors, Senior Players & their partners PLUS the parents of the junior players.

Now, I am going to burn some mixed CD'S to play before the night starts and during the breaks etc and I already have a fair idea of what stuff I am going to use. However, I would like to know what stuff you would use if you were in my position ???

A couple on my list are Chicane, Fatboy Slim, This Mortal Coil & Moby with the songs chosen by these artists being a little more laid back than the full on big beat sort of stuff.

So there you go - give me an 18 song mixed CD to that you would create and play on the night based on the types of people that are attending ??

I've run a few in the past, Sheik, even a couple for the cricket club - and what I normally do is have a bunch of old TV tunes in between rounds. You know, all of that quirky stuff from the 60's and the 70's like The Flintstones, Bewitched, Hawaii 5-0 and Gilligan and stuff.

As silly as it sounds, it works well at a triv night, especially in a large group like that that have a vast mixture of musical tastes. You can please some of the people some of the time .....

You could probably download a bunch of them off Kazaa or something, or hell even buy a "TV's Greatest Hits" type CD, probably for under 20 bucks. I picked up a set of them free with a Rolling Stone subscription about 10 years ago ... but you could download whatever you want nowadays.

Good luck, Ghost

Thanks for that Ghost.

Anyone else care to offer their thoughts ??

Well I'm not so sure about that.

maybe to wrap things up, when you've got to vacate the place within 5-10 minutes.

How about 10CC Dreadlock Holiday

I don't like cricket, oh no.
I love it.

Or maybe a bit of Nine Inch Nails - Closer would go down a treat in the family environment.
