Why Coverage in the Fakenham & Wells Times Matters for North Norfolk Events

The Fakenham & Wells Times is an editorially independent regional newspaper. It serves a distinct audience — North Norfolk’s coastal and market town communities. As a result, coverage here reaches an audience that large Norfolk-wide publications do not always serve directly.

North Norfolk is a significant market for wedding and event DJ hire. The area hosts many country house venues, coastal hotels, and village halls that regularly hire professional DJs. This coverage also puts Mobile Disco Network in front of that audience as a verified, award-winning local provider.


48 Years of Experience: What the Fakenham & Wells Times Feature Highlights

The Fakenham & Wells Times profile documents Tim Daymond’s career and credentials across several key areas.

48 years of professional DJ work across Norfolk. Tim started performing in 1976. He covers all four counties — Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Lincolnshire. He performs personally at every event and has never cancelled a contracted booking.

Norfolk’s first Trading Standards Trusted Trader DJ

Tim became the first mobile DJ in Norfolk to achieve Trading Standards Trusted Trader status in 2024, under Norfolk County Council Trusted Trader ID 0000457. He told the paper he wants the mobile DJ industry taken seriously as a legitimate profession.

Five Decades of Evolution: From 200 Vinyls to Modern Wedding Livestreams

Adapting across five decades. Tim started his career with 200 vinyl records. He now uses QR codes for requests and livestreams wedding parties for remote guests. He told the paper he aims to create something different, unique, and fresh at every event.

Unrivalled Reliability & Professional Commitment

Professional commitment under pressure. Tim has performed with bronchitis and a temperature of 103 rather than cancel a booking. He has also stepped in at short notice when other DJs have let clients down on their wedding day.


Tim Daymond on the Secrets to a Packed Dancefloor

“You have to have decades of music knowledge — but the most important skill is knowing what song will get your guests on the dancefloor. And factoring in how much they’ve had to drink as well.”

— Tim Daymond, Mobile Disco Network
