Wedding playlist

I am Djing a friends wedding next weekend and have been rifling through my record collection to work out some sort of set. It always dismays me that most people seem to think that wedding sets have to be full of with crap pop – Angels, You make me want to shout, Walking on sunshine, ABBA that sort of stuff. Even though you’ve got to try and cater for a huge age group, the tunes can still be great. I am going to start with loads of soul and disco classics then move through into a bit of crowd pleasing 80’s stuff like Young MC and De la Soul then finish with some old skool house. Here’s my top 20 wedding tunes list (in no particular order).
