(only living as a dj)... at 22. I joined BBC radio WM at pebble mill studios in Birmingham where I had my own sunday afternoon dance soul disco and reggae music show (started from 40 minutes and ended up with 3 hours).... up until 1985 where I decided I needed a holiday and headed to Tenerife for a short stay with some friends who had a little bar out there. (martins bar), unbeknown to me they we're playing loads of my cassettes with my soul sessions in the bar !!!........ I ended up staying 4 years. .......Went out to Canada in January 1989 (bloody freezing) and got work in radio C.I.U.T. and club work in and around Toronto-Copa & empire, Starlight, stayed there for 6 months and then back to Tenerife...........

Books:

ah well i'm only now really trying to get into that.....Giesha and not doing to good ! But then I have lots of time :)

Heroes:

don't think their are any really especially now in the current world, as for myself i would protect my family to the end, what is a hero ? is it a person who comes to your rescue when all is not going well ?? because if thats the answer then the world needs one now. if all the world was on a similar par with futuristic places such as metroplis or Gotham !! then Superman and Batman would be our hero's.......but it's not :)....................
