Summer Party DJ Set at The Bear Horsham, Local Business Networking with a Twist
Horsham is full of amazing small businesses, and one of the friendliest ways to connect with them is at the monthly networking meet-up at The Bear pub. My wife Helen, the creative force behind Indigo Mole, her gorgeous paper flower craft business. We have been part of this lively group for quite a while, and it’s always a highlight in our calendar.
This month was extra special: the group hosted its informal summer party. I was invited to DJ for the evening, bringing the music while everyone enjoyed fantastic pizza and plenty of laughs.
As The Bear is a cosy, intimate venue, I used my ultra-compact professional DJ setup, perfect for smaller spaces but still packing plenty of punch. Helen’s spectacular giant crepe paper flowers filled the room with colour, making it a truly unforgettable backdrop for the night.
