Asi de simple: ¡Amo el Soul de calidad! No importa si es una rareza obscura o si fue un gran hit mundial, mientras que pueda hacerme vibrar. También me gusta el R&B y Ska, básicamente, “música con alma”.
La primera vez que hice girar los discos fue alrededor de 1970 (en el club juvenil que dirigía mi madre en mi ciudad natal 'Shrewsbury') y poco a poco comencé a explorar este mundo nuevo. Aprendí a bailar mirando a amigos de mis hermanos quien asistieron a los All-Night Clubs como el Twisted Wheel (Manchester), The Golden Torch (Stoke On Trent), The Cattacoombs (Wolverhampton), Up The Junction (Crewe) y el primer Blackpool Mecca y otros clubs locales en Midlands (U.K) .Gradualmente mi amor por el Soul se cultivó y creció. Mi primer viaje a un All-Nighter fue al “Wigan Casino” en 1974 y… ¡fue una experiencia que cambio vida! Comencé como DJ en Shrewsbury durante los años 70´s (promoviendo mis propias fiestas)
Hoy día soy DJ alrededor del mundo y promuevo mi propia fiesta en Salford (Lancashire), Inglaterra llamada “A Taste Of Honey”…

JUST LOVE QUALITY SOUL MUSIC ! IT DOESN’T MATTER IF IT’S AN OBSCURE RARITY OR HAS BEEN A WORLD-WIDE HIT, AS LONG AS IT MOVES ME.
I ALSO LOVE R&B & SKA BASICALLY ‘MUSIC WITH SOUL’ .
I first got turned onto Soul & Ska around 1970 (at A Youth Club my Mother ran in my home-town ‘Shrewsbury’ ) . Little by little I began to explore this new World. I learnt to dance by watching my Brothers friends who attended All-Night Clubs like The Twisted Wheel (Manchester) The Golden Torch (Stoke On Trent) The Cattacoombs (Wolverhampton) Up The Junction (Crewe) & Early Blackpool Mecca plus local clubs in The Midlands (U.K) .Gradually my love of Soul grew and grew. My first trip to an All-Nighter was ‘Wigan Casino ‘in late 1974 It proved to be a life-changing experience! I first DJd around Shrewsbury in the 1970s (promoting my own nights)
Today I DJ all over The World and promote my own night in Salford (Lancashire) England U.K. called ‘A Taste Of Honey’
