Originally from Liverpool and ended up staying in Birmingham after Uni and meeting my wife. DJ'ing all kinds of music from Afrobeat to Breakbeat to funk to punk; music is either good or bad it's that simple. All genres are acceptable to me and the late great John Peel (R.I.P.) was my hero in terms of turning music that most people would ignore, into something that was acceptable. Got a couple of Denon CD decks, and I get by with a massive collection of CD's, some creativity and a lot of luck! Love footy (almost as much as my wife) and I watch the Reds as much as possible....even followed them to Istanbul in '05 for the best night of my life!
