Lincs Online featured Tinsel Tim, professional DJ Tim Daymond of Mobile Disco Network, in October 2024. The article covers five decades of continuous DJ work and Tim’s lasting passion for the job.
The story appeared under the headline “Veteran Mobile DJ Tinsel Tim Still Loves His Job After Five Decades”. It also revealed Tim’s top five party tracks.
Why the Lincs Online Coverage Matters
Lincs Online is not a directory or a paid listing platform. It is the digital home of several long-established Lincolnshire newspapers. So journalists decide what appears, and businesses do not pay for news features.
Lincolnshire is also one of the four counties Tim covers. This coverage shows his standing as a trusted local provider in the county.
What the Lincs Online Article Covers
The October 2024 article profiles Tim in detail.
Five Decades of DJ Work
Tim started performing in 1976. He has worked across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire ever since. He still performs personally at every single booking.
A DJ Who Still Loves the Job
The article focuses on Tim’s genuine enthusiasm after all these years. Audiences have changed, but his commitment to the dance floor has not.
More Demanding Audiences
Tim spoke openly about the rise of more demanding customers. He notes that some people now touch equipment and fire off instant requests mid-set. He has also stepped in at short notice to help couples whose wedding entertainment fell through on the day. That experience shapes his emergency DJ hire service.
Top Five Party Tracks
Lincs Online asked Tim for his five most reliable dance floor tracks. It gave readers a direct look at how he reads a room.
Trading Standards Trusted Trader Status
The article recognises Tim as the first mobile DJ in Norfolk to gain Trading Standards Trusted Trader status. He holds it under Norfolk County Council Trusted Trader ID 0000457. Read what being Trading Standards Approved means for you.
Tim Daymond in His Own Words
“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.”
