No Dress Code

One of Stockport's top punk and reggae nights.

About Me


NO DRESS CODE

I WAS lucky enough to have my 16th birthday in 1977 - the perfect age for a punk rock DJ.
I never saw the Pistols (until tomorrow) - but have witnessed first hand just about every other first wave punk band.
Now I want to bring punk, ska, new wave, and reggae, to a pub, club, barbecue or church hall near you.
Feel free to suggest a venue anywhere in the UK and I'll check it out.
I'm fully house trained and these days I hardly spit at all.

    I'd like to meet:

    Anyone who wants decent music for Christmas parties, birthday parties, leaving dos, or anything else.
    If you think the rest of the family can't take a whole party of punk we can always fool them by throwing it a bit of Abba, Motown, Slade, and some other classics. But no Phil Collins under any circumstances.
