A disillusioned ex-punk I turned to the darkside in 1982 & found I preferred it.
I began my 'career' as a DJ/Promoter in 1985 after taking over an established club
night in Romford, called The Rezz (after the venue it was held in).

I've worked all over the UK, been to Los Angeles to DJ also the
Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany (to 2000 people at an all night event, as well as the Gothic Pogo Party)
and have worked at some of the UK's most prestigious clubs and events. You'll find a list on the History page.

I currently run Nostalgia (part of the Whitby Gothic Weekend), and the thirteen13 radio show
which plays out to over 100,000 people each show and a monthly podcast.

I also write a column for Static Magazine

I'm always looking for more guest slots.

I'm currently happy that at last people are remembering what goth is, as it means
I'm in demand again. I celebrate 25 years in the business is 2010, why not join me?
