Are there no ends to this ladies talents? Dayna has DJ’d in nightspots in and around the North East since she was 19, she also spent some time mixing it up in Ibiza, and Paris, France. Fundamentally a house DJ she now plays a very ecelectic set including 80s electronica, soul, funk, house and indy, ‘’as long as its all great music, I love doing it, I adore bands like the Smiths and the Cure and love dropping their tracks into the middle of a house set”

Now making her own waves on the hospitality and Events scene, Dayna worked for Sunderland Football Club and Durham County Cricket Club before setting up her own business Virtuoso Events. She has secured 100s of events in the short time she has been in business including weddings, conferences, exhibitions and charity dinners to name but a few. The venues selected always reflect the clients needs and ‘vibe’ and have included a lighthouse and a castle as well as the major venues in the North East such as Ramside Hall Hotel, Durham County Cricket Club and Seaham Town Hall.

Dayna has been promoting her live music event’ Uncovered ‘over the last year at various venues in the North East ,she blends the best tribute bands out there with local up and coming original bands, such as Social Room who supported the Clone Roses at the Point in Sunderland last May to a 550 strong Crowd. Other bands who have featured include

Kazabian, Kings of Lyon and Ha’waysis. “I want to bring people the music they want to hear at a snippet of the price and just on their door steps to boot! With fake festival and Glastonvery being so popular it’s a very on trend concept, plus the up and coming bands get to show case their talent too and often steal the show!

The next Uncovered is taking place at Seaham Town Hall on May 1st with head liners The Clone Roses and support from local lads Smokin’ Trace. For tickets and further info contact:

Ialways find a way to get the client what they need to make their event truly exceptional and have a flair for being able to pull things off for clients at the last minute, for example finding a venue to hold 200 people on Halloween a week before the date in question!!

I’m very pleased to be assisting a lovely lady with her charity dinner in aid of her daughter Ava who has an acute epilepsy, the dinner is taking place at Seaham Town Hall on the 13th February and I urge people to support and come along for a great night and helping a wonderful little girl Ava get better l
