Party planner (poptromatiQ Events )and gigs promoter for a small venue (l'Intermediaire) during the day I am also a buttshaking record spinner by night. I've been digging crates and collecting vinyls since 1986 (thanks Dad). I am also addicted to the 60s in general and swinging London in particular (cheers Mom). I have a degree in American Cinema History (major in post WWII sub genre known as Film Noir). I currently host a weekly 3-hour radio show called "Bienvenue au Club!" (Join the club!) on radio Grenouille (www.grenouille888.org) every Wednesday night starting at 7:00PM (GMT+1)
