About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorHave been a key player in the alt/indie/rock club DJ-Promotion world for many years now in the Midlands and consider myself very lucky to still be involved at the level I am. I've dj'ed in many venues around the country and in Birmingham where 3 of the longer running clubs I helped to put on the map were Edwards, XL's (back in my more rock influenced days) and more recently Ramshackle @ Carling Academy as promoter and weekly resident DJ. In 2008 'Off The Hook' ( myself and Carlton ) will be bringing you as many new club nights as we can, starting with Carte Blanche on Friday April 11th. A new weekly indie/alt club night at Brum's newest venue T.P.I.L situated in Digbeth and owned by the lovely people who own the Sunflower Lounge. I live in a lovely cosy house in Kings Heath where I enjoy spending some quality time with my lovely lady 'the sparkling Miss Stephanie May' and our two beautiful cats Charlie and Lola.......I'm always up for DJ'ing at other venues too so if anyone out there reading this is interested leave me a message !!

My Interests

I luuurve my music....listening to it, watching bands play live and of course getting to play it as a DJ. Also enjoy a good book, a good film, a good tv series, good company and of course going out and getting mashed when the occasion suits.

I'd like to meet:

Lots of people past and present. Bill Hicks (my hero), John Peel, Mr E (of Eels fame)...although i have been lucky enough to meet him once already...and Bill Murray to name but four.

Music:

Am into or have been into way to many bands to list here...I'm well into a lot of what's happening in the current alternative/indie world. Eels are my all time faves (still so shockingly overlooked too), also like a bit of AC/DC, Alice In Chains, And You Will know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Arcade Fire, Beck, Big Bang, Cash, Chem Bros, Copter, Dandy Warhols, Editors, Flaming Lips, Hot Hot Heat, Kings of Leon, LCD Soundsystem, Mark Lanegan, Metric, Pearl Jam (first 3 albums), Nick Drake, Polyphonic Spree, Rapture, Secret Machines, Underworld, Wildhearts, White Stripes, Young Knives, Zeppelin, Wolfmother...you get the idea !!!

Movies:

Not a big movie buff but can occasionally be found watching the Godfather Trilogy, Shawshank Redemption, Shaun Of The Dead, Vanilla Sky, Die-Hard Trilogy (no laughing please), Lord Of The Rings Trilogy....bit of a trilogy connection happening here me thinks. Basically anything interesting, moving, scary or funny !!

Television:

Don't watch a massive amount of tv either but Family Guy, Monkey Dust (great when you're stoned), Alan Partridge, South Park, Twin Peaks and Cheers are a few that have rocked my world. Have become totally hooked on Heroes too. Also can't beat a good documentary...get me, I sound like me dad !!

Books:

Have read all manner of books...cheesy Stephen King horror, Jeffrey Deaver, Douglas Coupland, Mr Tolkien, Dan Brown, Mike Gayle, Nick Hornby. Also really enjoy reading music and tv/film star biographies. American Scream (Bill Hicks) is a big fave...tear jerkin' stuff.

Heroes:

See above...Bill Hicks, Mr E and of course the late great John Peel.
