I first started to take an
interest in music when I was 8 back in 1979. The Ska/Two Tone revolution became a way of life, and I've still
got all of my old 7s now!! As a 17yr old in the Summer of 1989, Soul II Soul exploded with Back To Life and
UK Street Soul seemed to take over the world. This was the trigger that started me off buying
records.
A few years later, a friend of mine took me to Crazy Beat Records and thus Soul Music
became an obsession! Most Saturday afternoons in the 90s were spent listening, talking about & buying music. I
started to get out to a few Soul nights such as Soul Heaven in Rainham, Queens of Soul in Grays & The Goldmine
Re-unions in Canvey. This eventually lead to me following the well trode path down the A12 to Great Yarmouth. My
first Caister Soul Weekender was in May 1998, life was never the same again! What a place!
I started to DJ myself around this time, mainly playing at parties & halls,
trying to get as much Soul into every set as I could get away with! I continued until 2003 when I moved to the
North East and gave the DJing & Caister a rest for a while, returning for good in 2008. Since then I have
started playing at a few Soul Nights in Newcastle and haven't looked back!
My Style is mainly Modern Soul from the 70s through till 2011, you'll also find me
playing a lot of Jazzy stuff and Soulful House, a proper mixture. Hope you enjoy the show, I'm sure I'll see a fair
few of you at Caister in the near future.
