My interest in music became more apparent in the mid 70’s when socialising with my peers at school and in youth clubs. We mainly played Reggae and raved to Sound Systems at Parties and Blues Dances. We used to compare and swap vinyl, perfect dance moves and generally just have fun not realising the value the experience would lead to in later life. We lived for the day. In the early 80’s I started listening to Pirate Radio, this peaked my interest in Jazz, Funk, Soul and many other genres and styles. From there, the rest is history…

I'm here to share great music! A 60's kid raised in the 70's with a backdrop of Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae, Disco, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Jazz Funk, Hip Hop and Pop.

At 13, I was on the club scene going to Cubies, Phoebe's and All Nations, listening to Sir George (Cubies) and CASANOVA sound systems ( Phoebe's ) and Unity (All Nations). Simply loving the message in the music, from then right up to present day.
