Biog::
From an early age, being in and around music was a given for Liam.
An early starter on the DJ scene also! “At 13 I got my first pair of decks†recalls Liam, “Funnily enough they were CD decks, but it wasn’t long before I switched codes to Vinylâ€
Snatching an early opportunity to play an almost legal outdoor party at 16 became the bug-bite that to this day lives on.
By 18 Liam was touring the North with Candy promotions, warming up for such names as K-Klass, Lottie and Dave & Huey.
2006 was a breakthrough year for Liam, with a steady build-up of bookings culminating in various appearances in Burnley and around the North.
Bookings for 2Kinky @ The View in Frodsham, aswell as appearances at “Residents†nights in the area have cemented Liams place as a respected DJ “I think people like that I like what I am doing… I always make sure I show that I would be as comfortable in front of the decks as behind them, and I think people like thatâ€
As Liams popularity grew, as did Venga, after early successful Vengabus events to 2Kinky, the doors were opened for Venga and in turn Liam. “Now is a very exciting time, and if somebody tells me its an overnight success I will tell them where to go! I think the recent success is testament to our dedication to make things work!â€
As the passion for music grew ever stronger, as did the profile of events, and up to press Venga have confirmed Dates at internationally renowned Sankeys quarterly, at Burnley’s Fusion aswell as 2Kinky.
"I have to pinch myself when I look at the list of names ive played with and been billed alongside" names such as PETE TONG, SANDY RIVERA, FERGIE, JON CARTER, TOCADISCO, MICKY SLIM, TOUCHE, PETER GELDERBLOM RICHARD DINSDALE, TIL WEST, BODYROX, CHRIS DUCKENFIELD, KATE LAWLER, DJ DELICIOUS, REBEKAH, DANNY FREAKAZOID, WILL BAILEY, ED KANE, JUS' PHIL, IAIN TAYLOR, MATT COOPER, SI FORESTIERO, SHANE HOPKINS... the list goes on!
The pinnacle of the Venga achievements to date was the night secured at World Famous EDEN in IBIZA in August!
On the DJ front, upcoming and past gigs include high-profile appearances at Turnmills in London The Egg London, The Music Box Manchester, Sankeys Manchester, Lucorum Barnsley, The View Chester, Solid in Preston aswell as other guest appearances in Barnsley, Manchester and Birmingham, lest we forget EDEN in Ibiza!
As we enter the final quarter of 2007 things are moving well for Liam, with his own productions going down well in his sets, and receiving support from fellow DJs, lest we forget the online business The Bargain Association which has been built by Liam during the last two years!
So remember the name, Liam V - He is going to be around for a few years to come yet!
