About Me

I'm DJ'in again on a weekly basis following a period of doing odds and sods rather than a recidency. It's here at Sin Club on Tottenham Court Road. The link is in my top friends

These are some of the jobs I've had, most are crap
TV PRESENTER - Used to present and produce my own shows on West Herts TV and Channel 10 and more recently BPM TV, who have gone a bit quiet recently. Mainly Music, Sport and Lifestyle programs. Interviewed such people as Danni Minogue and Vinny Jones
TROLLY SUPERVISOR - Yes, I used to supervise the people that collected the trollys - No trollys, no shopping so I was important ....
BOUNCY CASTLE SUPERVISOR - Gimme 50p and you can bounce in my presence
CASH COLLECTER - Used to collect cash out of fruit machines
NEWSAGENT MANAGER - Basically just that, free slush puppies!!!
MUSIC EXHIBITION - Worked as a tour guide (of sorts) in EMI Records exhibition for thier centenary
SOFT DRINK MERCHANDISER - You can't just throw anything in that Pepsi sponsered fridge you know, it has to be mainly Pepsi....
SELLER OF COACH TOURS - Want to spend 17 hours on a coach before reaching Butlins? I'm your man...
RUNNER OF KIDS CLUBS - Also ran a kids youth group for many years until the church realised I hadn't been to a church service for 6 years
MOBILE DJ - Before the days of doing clubs I used to do kids parties, i also attended the only magic course in the country 'so you want to be a magician' at Broxbourne College and learnt to do balloon animals ....
I also love live music and these bands/artists have been lucky enough to have me view them this year (updated )
To be updated later on this week when I can be bothered
