Our Story
Music & Mayhem started over 25 years ago with a simple idea: kids' parties shouldn't be boring, and parents shouldn't have to do all the work themselves. After years working in radio at Radio Wave 96.5 FM in Blackpool, holiday park entertainment in Majorca with Airtours/TUI, and as Entertainment Manager at Shearings Holidays, I'd seen what made events genuinely fun — and what made them flat. I took everything I'd learned about reading a room, keeping energy high, and getting people involved, and built a children's entertainment business around it.
Twenty-five years later, we're still doing what we love — turning up at village halls, community centres and family homes across Lancashire and watching kids absolutely lose their minds with laughter. Every party is different and every child is different, but the goal is always the same: a day that the birthday child remembers forever, and a couple of hours where the parents can actually relax, enjoy a coffee, and watch their kid have the time of their life.
Our Team
Music & Mayhem is led by Dan Dalton, with George joining as a co-host and entertainer in 2022. Between us we have over 30 years of combined experience entertaining children and families across the North West. Dan handles the bookings, the music, the magic and the games. George brings his natural humour and brilliant rapport with kids — he has a real gift for getting even the shyest child involved and laughing within minutes. Together we work as a tight, well-rehearsed team that's done thousands of parties together — which means smooth, professional, no-fuss entertainment from start to finish.

Fantastic DJ
Music and Mayhem, what can I say. I booked Dan for my Wife's 40th birthday party. We had our kids and family/friends kids at the party. Not a problem for Music and Mayhem. Dan entertained the kids brilliantly. Then played loads of great music that the adults and kids could dance along to. A party DJ that can do it all.. 10 out of 10!
