About

James ShieldsHaving worked professionally as a DJ for over ten years, James Shields formed Shields Entertainment in 2013 in order to build on his experience working in the entertainment business and provide high-end entertainment services under his own brand. Born and raised in Edinburgh, James started DJing in 2000 and has since become one of the leading DJs and entertainment providers in the Edinburgh, Lothians and Fife areas.

James cut his teeth in the entertainment business back in the days when he carried crates of CDs from venue to venue. Since then, he has done everything from mobile DJing in pubs and clubs, to hosting karaoke nights and resident DJ spots in various venues in the Edinburgh area.

Of course these days, technology has changed (for starters - the crates of CDs have been replaced with laptops) and so have the demands and expectations of our clients. James formed Shields Entertainment in response to this shift in expectations - having listened to what customers want from an entertainment service, Shields Entertainment offers bespoke services that meet the needs of your event. Whether you're planning a disco, karaoke, race night, fundraiser or any other event, Shields Entertainment can provide you a one-stop-shop solution for all your entertainment needs.

Since 2016, James has been volunteering as an audio commentator for the visually impaired Hearts fans at Tynecastle Park and is used as relief stadium announcer from time to time. As of November 2018, James will be official matchday stadium announcer for Hamilton Academical FC.

Came across Shields entertainment on the internet and booked for my mums 50th last weekend - amazing reviews but was slightly worried as the age for my event was from 18 - 80, but honestly the music was fab - everyone up dancing and he played all the requests not a problem. Would recommend to anyone, and any parties in the future I know who I will book - thank you for such a great night!

Kate from Edinburgh

Just a big thanks to Shields Entertainment for making our birthday surprise a big one. We had our party in April at the Wash Bar in Edinburgh, and Jim was our DJ for the evening. Jim is lovely, and a very nice person as an individual - he is calm and has a great personality. It was a small function (just as we wanted) and he ran it very well - in fact, his music was such a killer that after the function, we carried on to a club afterwards to carry on the party!
James and Jim - big thanks and be assured of repeat custom from me and my people!

Viola from Edinburgh

We booked Shields Entertainment for my sisters 50th birthday party in September 2013. We were more than happy with selection of music used over the evening. James was very happy to source and play a particular list of music I requested across the course of the evening, and he managed the timings of the buffet and speeches professionally and in a very friendly manner, with enthusiasm and wit. I would certainly use again in the future for similar events.

Caroline from Edinburgh
