1st dj'd in late 80s 88 i think it was, cause no one else wanted to .The outrigger with dj Tony Reynolds had finished and there was nowhere else so took up resedency at a pub called the turks head on sundays playing mainley latin, jazz & soul. That lasted about 6 months before moving to a place called Synatras on tuesdays, sometimes would have the odd band on. Steve Craddocks & the boys played there a few times as did JTQ. From there it was onto the Royal George in Digbeth a basement r&b club. had some good nights down there. I was at the george for about 3 years till about 92 around this time that I started djing for the Untouchables. Easter on the pier in Hastings, went on my scooter, took about 3 days to get there I think. Great rally that was.Back then most djs on the mod seen were expected to play a mixed bag you know a bit of beat, soul, jazz, blues, latin, etc and thats how I have stayed, jack of all trades master of none so to speak Still djying for the New Untouchables. Back in brum I DJ for squeek at his looking back nights at the Windsor and most recently at club sweat in the 60s r&b room. Heres a few toons i've been playing recently. ps remember if you want to look smart never wear what you feel comfortable in!
