I have worked as a professional DJ and Quizmaster since 1992. I am especially well known around Rothwell as I present quizzes at The New Masons, Oulton, The Gardeners, Lofthouse, The Hare and Hounds, Rothwell and The British Oak at Rothwell. Also at Nuffield Health and Fitness, Wakefield and Bannantynes, Wakefield.
I have been a regular successful participant in national pop quizzes for which I have won several trophies. In 2004, I put myself forward for Popmaster on BBC Radio 2’s Ken Bruce show. I got through to the Champions League Final at the end of the year, and went on to win, only dropping one question throughout the entire competition.
I have a vast knowledge of music from the 50’s (and before) up to the present day and can accommodate requests to suit people of all ages. I compile and present all my own quizzes and can incorporate a quiz into your function should you require one.
I would play an eclectic mix of music from different decades and should you book me for your event I will always discuss a playlist with you and ask you for suggestions of tracks that you and your guests would like me to play. I play the slower to mid-tempo suggestions during the early part of the function and save the more danceable tracks for later on. I only play tracks that are appropriate for the audience and the surroundings. I am NOT a Nightclub DJ.
All my equipment is PAT tested and I hold full Public Liability Insurance. I have a professional sound system complete with star cloth and lighting and also a lighting gantry which is used at larger venues. I have a music library of around 40,000 tracks to select from, but in the unlikely event that I do not have a specific track you require, I will make sure I acquire it.
Together with my partner Alison Galley of Celebration Balloons of Rothwell, we have over the past seven years, held our themed party nights at Rothwell Parish Centre which have included 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, Halloween 80’s, Soul and Motown (one of my specialities) and our very popular themed New Years Eve Ball.
