Nightclub and Event DJ Work
I am an award winning nightclub and Event DJ, with over 20 years of professional experience.
With a history of performing to large crowds and small gatherings alike, I have held long residencies playing everything from party classics and current hits to 60s, rock n roll, indie, jazz, motown, funk and soul – or all of the above. I am a competent microphone performer, and am happy to provide as much – or as little – microphone work as required by the client.
I was awarded Barvest DJ of the Year in 2004

Press Clippings
I’ve been featured in the press many times during my career, but most of my clippings went with the Fat Poppadaddys archive when I left the business in 2010. I’ve managed to find a few items which are shown below
