About Me

I am known as 'DJ' (a term which I use loosely!) Chunky, and I can be found changing CD's at The Hatchet (Frogmore Street) where I am the resident DJ on a both a Thursday and Saturday night. I like to play a random selection of music, that should hopefully appeal to a broad spectrum of people. Most of it is based around rock, metal & punk

My Interests

I'm into Tattoos, and Piercings. I love listening to Music, predominately Rock, Metal and Punk. I enjoy watching Films especially at the cinema. Most importantly I love playing with my kids. I also have a VW based trike, and have been known to go out riding whatever the weather.

I'd like to meet:

Absolutely anyone who is into Rock, Metal, Punk, Emo and any other genre you want to mention. I want to help promote the "Alternative Scene" particularly in my home town of Bristol; which is why I am one of the people behind the website dedicated to the afore mentioned Alternative Scene within Bristol: www.AltBristol.com We plan on listing any website/band/club/gig/shop that contibutes towards the Alternative Scene in Bristol.

If you're in a band with an upcoming gig or run a club night in the local area, then why not drop in a poster and some flyers, so that I can help you promote your event. I also want to hear from bands who are looking to have Merch printed, or If you want your products sold on the Digital Interweb, then I would like to hear from you too.

If you're after an 'alternative' DJ for an event, why not drop me a line.

Music:



I listen to pretty much everything that is Rock, Metal or Punk, old or new, it really doesn't matter. I would say that my favourite bands would probably be (in no particular order) The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Linkin Park, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Skid Row, AFI, Green Day, Blink 182, Rancid, Dead Kennedys... the list goes on.

As of late i've really got into bands like Bad Religion, Taproot, Danzig, Avenged Sevenfold and Hoobastank.

I also like to support the local scene, and go to and watch bands like Left Side Brain, No Warning Shot and Fourway Kill whenever possible. How come most gigs seem to be on a Thursday or Saturday night, when I'm at work??

Movies:

I absolutely love Vampire based films, especially things like Blade, Underworld etc. I also love films that are just pure entertaining comedy no-brainers like Dukes Of Hazzard (which is my opinion one of the funniest films I've seen in a LONG time) and Bad Boys. Shoot 'em up action comedy movies also have their place in my DVD collection.Amongst other favorites are Hackers, Top Gun, Predator, AVP, Too Fast Too Furious, Biker Boys etc etc.

Television:

CSI (Vegas, Miami and New York), American Chopper, Biker Build Off, Bones (New addition to the list, but quite entertaining), NCIS etc etc.Also kinda get stuck watching things like Eastenders, Holby City etc. (The downside of having kids, and staying in most nights).

Books:

I never used to to be one who got a lot of satisfaction reading books especially fiction, however having said that we all change, and I am currently into Kathy Reichs 'bones' series of books. I have always preferred to read factual books or autobiographies. I think my favorite ever book was Billy by Pamela Stephenson (Biography about Billy Connolly). I was bought The Gospel according to Chris Moyles, and I must admit it is a very entertaining read, and down right hilarious in places.

Heroes:

Well apart from my Dad (RIP) and my kids, my heroes would be mainly comedy based: Billy Connolly, Lee Evans, Roy Chubby Brown and Jim Davidson.
