Although i had been to the mental Megadog's at the Scala back in the late 80s I really started going to Clubs/Raves back in 1990 after a night out at the infamous Dungeons in Lea Bridge Road in East London.
I went out pretty much every weekend for the next 6 years and a after a couple of quiet years I started up again about 10 years ago and continue to this day.
I have been to clubs and events all over the U.K. as well as Holland, Israel, Cyprus, Ireland, United States, Mainland Spain, Hungary and of course the clubbing mecca, Ibiza.
Riverdance
After helping various people with their events I decided to put on an Old Skool Boat Trip on the Thames as no one was doing this and I though it would be a laugh, it was.
That was back in Oct 2000 and I have done another 10 since then, there are quite a few people out there who have been to every one, thank you for your support over the years.
Most of the boat trips have been sell-outs and last year (2008) was no exception.
There will be 2 boat trips in 2009 giving everybody a chance to get to at least one of them this year, they will be on the following dates:
Sunday 2nd August - Riverdance 12 – The Summer Splash
Sunday 27th September – Riverdance – The 9th Birthday Bash

Resonance
I also started an event called Resonance which took place at the Scala and then Mass in Brixton and more recently (January 07) i held the 6th birthday bash at Hidden in Vauxhall.
I have also co-hosted events with Elation at Electrowerkz, Best of British at Bagleys/Canvas and SE1 and with Innovation at the Lighthouse and SE1.
Sunday Skool
I have also been doing a regular free Old Skool event called Sunday Skool, it started out on Sundays at Propaganda (now Stringfellows) in Soho and has been at The Peacock pub in Canning Town over the summer months for 3 years.
It also hosts the Riverdance afterparty every year on the permanently moored Barco on the Victoria Embankment and most recently i did upstairs at the White House in Clapham.
Res Laser
After hiring a laser for my events I decided to buy one back in March 2001 and start my own laser hire business based in London, back then there were very few lasers in clubs, most people only remember seeing lasers at big raves back in the 90s.
I have since gone on to become one of the busiest laser hire companies in the Greater London area. I do work for Funkin You, Glade, Promised Land, Kool FM, Drum N'Bass Arena, One Nation, History of Hardcore, Fantazia and Hardcore Heaven at clubs such as the Brixton/Bristol/Birmingham Academys, Ministry of Sound, SE1, Koko, Heaven and the Coronet in London and also at many other clubs (Sanctuary, Lakota, Marcus Garvey, Leicester Uni, Route) throughout the U.K.
Check out the website on www.res-laser.com
I have also done production management for Funkin You, Frantic, Moondance and Tasty, working with the promoter helping to plan the bigger multi room events such as the Academy, Koko and SE1 up to 3 months before, then making sure everything is up and running before the doors open on the night and keeping it running after the doors are open, always a challenge, at the moment i am working on big events for next summer with Glade, Bangface and Antiworld.
I plan to retire from it all his year because it takes up a lot of time and life is getting too short but for now, its all good…
