I attended the Top Rank in Hanley, Stoke on Trent, aged just 10 in 1970. Northern Soul was the the first club music I ever heard, and I adored it. Seeing the spectacular dancing just blew my mind. When I hear any of those tunes today, I’m transported right back there. I moved through the Jazz-Funk era, purchasing loads of vinyl, which I still have and deejay that stuff. It stirred an interest in Jazz and proper Funk, which I am enormously passionate about. I also was around for the birth of Hip-Hop, and took in loads of Reggae too.

Getting married young (19) and having a kid (20), meant I dropped away from music for a bit but, never lost my enthusiasm. After a long bout of ill health, I am making a comeback. I now deejay locally, specialising in the above genres and a bit of baggy and more. I love Street deejaying!

I am now running a record stall in Stoke Market, and have got a gig on Trax Radio.
