About Me

39 year old male , born in Liverpool and married to the lovely Mrs P whom I spend most of my time running around after , along with the infamous Lucycat (a regular listener to Gilles Petersons Worldwide and has appeared many atime on www.brownswood.co.uk for live chat and who likes to leave me little presents of dead mice in my record boxes).Spend most of my time searching for the rare groove and dj'ing in and around manchester.I was saturday night resident at Deluxe at the Contact theatre for a couple of years before going on to do the Grand Central / fat City bar sessions at the Kro bar and Kro 2 and lately at Lemmars.Can also be found regularly guesting at Flytime at Mook in leeds among other places.the only other thing that takes up my time is Everton F.C , the true 'pride of Merseyside'..
