She's not a girl who misses much...

About Me

I am an indie dj and have been for about five years now. I love my vinyl collection and I love to make people dance! I was the resident DJ for Melting Pot and The Live Room and I was also one of the official dj's for CLUB NME at The Live Room in Luton. I have supplied vinyl support for Bloc Party, The Maccabees, The Holloways, Switches, The Bluetones and The Rifles which has been fun! Aswell as djing I like a good drink and a dance. I'm strange...not many people know what I'm really about...i love those closest to me...i believe in quality not quantity...i'm not a girl who misses much...i play tunes and get paid for it...i like fred perry...i like to smile :)

My Interests

Music, gigs, vinyl(old and new),my lover,snooker, clothes, drunkenly playing the drums, reading, writing, friends, laughing, vodka, red wine, drunken dancing, randomness...
