I am here for Networking

About Me

My name is Roni O'Brien. I am a female Presenter on

INSATIABLE SOUL-www.solarradio.com/Sky channel0129-Mon 10PM-Midnight.

..

THE BIG LINK-Linkfm 92.2 www.linkfm.net-Wed/Thurs/Fri 10am-1pm

I also DJ at various clubs around the country including The Squire in North St Romford where i am one of the Resident DJs. We are playing soul to a very friendly crowd every friday 8pm-1am.
I am proud to be the first ever female DJ to play the main room at the world famous Caister Soul Weekender in Vauxhall Park.

You can check out my playlists on http://www.soulfunkandjazz.com/page/listen again RoniObrien.html click this link and you can also listen to a recent show.

At the tender age of 13, I discovered the key to my older Brothers bedroom door, Pandora's Box suddenly opened and it was a revelation! While all my friends were dancing to Madness I was gripped by The Players Association, Gonzalez and then got 'Swingin' with Light of the World.

My Soul sessions didn't remain a secret for long, my lunchtimes became popular amongst friends where we all discovered the latest sounds in soul and Jazz-funk. I bought my first 7"inch Geraldine Hunt -'Can't fake the feeling' and I gained instant credibility with my Brother and my English teacher alike.

I by chance discovered a Radio station, the signal was weak...and if I hadn't lived on a hill I would never have found it. Radio Horizon and then JFM....quickly became the reason the homework wasn't being done!

At college I quickly took over the role of organising events by hiring clubs like Flicks and the Goldmine and knew the importance of having the right DJs for the night. Tom Holland, Chris Hill and Robbie Vincent became the icons of our soul tribe The Jazzers Incognito.

We travelled the country looking for the best sounds around but were so lucky being from Essex means we never had to travel too far.

I discovered the Caister Soul Weekender, the Lacy Lady and then the Special Branch in Tooley St.

I became involved with the fashion industry and it became more and more of a part of my role to organise fashion shows and presentations. The music never left me and I quickly took over organising the music in all the venues that I worked. When the world was playing acid house I continued to use Soul and Jazz-Funk for my shows.

Through organising the music at fashion shows I was asked to produce for a new DJ on Solar Radio, and from there realised my dream to have my own show.

I now have my own show on the premier Soul station Solar Radio.

I have since played at Soul Heaven, Soul from the Hart, Chelmer Soul, Club Valentino, Qudos @ Henrys, The Squire and various other venues including The world famous 'Caister Soul Weekender'.

I will be playing at the Funkstrumental Sessions in Hackney on the 8th and 22nd of July along with Brit-Funk acts-Beggar & Co. Savannah and Freeze.

I played at Soul Heaven 3 years ago and was given the Tom Holland treatment! He accidentally whacked me round the head with my CD case and gave me a concussion minutes before doing my set.

I have since been told this is a soul mafia initiation ceremony. I survived and played my first main room set at the Caister 2006 New Year! .. Insatiable Soul on www.solarradio.com sky 0129 Every Monday 10pm-midnight. www.insatiablesoul.com ..
