As part of my 20 years of DJing celebrations, I’d like to say thank you to someone who has been a huge part of my life for many years.

My “Market Mum”… Symone. ❤️🍎

If you’ve ever been to Beaumont Leys Market, chances are you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about. Symone has run the fruit and veg stall there for as long as I can remember, and when I was about 11/12 years old, she gave me my very first “proper” job.

Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I’d help unload the fruit and veg, set the stall up, head off to school, then come back afterwards to the market until it was time to pack everything away.

Looking back now, I don’t think either of us realised just how much that job would shape the person I am today.

It sorted my behaviour out for a start! At school, detentions were issued and served on the same day. If I got one, I couldn’t get to work after school, which meant I’d be letting Symone down and missing out on my wages. That was all the motivation I needed to stay out of trouble!

Working on the market did so much more than earn me a few quid. It taught me how to talk to customers, gave me confidence, showed me the value of hard work, and introduced me to business, money and responsibility from a young age.

The money I earned paid for my driving lessons, my first car and some of my very first DJ equipment. After I passed my driving test, I even started delivering fruit and veg for her.

I carried on working for Symone throughout college and university, and that job helped support me through my education. If I’m honest, I genuinely don’t think I’d be where I am today without the opportunities she gave me.

Symone has supported my DJing from the very beginning too. She came to my very first public gig at The Hansom Cab, has recommended me to countless customers, friends and family over the years, and has always believed in what I do.

One of my favourite memories was at Christmas, when Symone trusted me to DJ on Beaumont Leys Market. We’d have music playing all day, with the traders singing, dancing and having a laugh together. It created such a fantastic atmosphere and showed just how much faith Symone had in me. Those Christmas markets are memories I’ll always treasure.

Somewhere along the line, she stopped being “my boss” and became my “Market Mum.”

One of the times I’ll never forget was when my Nan became poorly. Symone was always there to listen whenever I needed someone to talk to. She never tried to solve the problem; she simply listened, and sometimes that’s exactly what someone needs.

My Nan visited the fruit and veg stall every Saturday without fail. She’d always buy her fresh fruit and vegetables, and she’d often bring homemade jam tarts and lemon tarts for Symone. They’re memories that I know we’ll both treasure forever.

When my Nan passed away, I remember walking onto the market the following Wednesday. As soon as I saw Symone, she gave me the biggest, tightest hug. We both stood there with tears in our eyes.

That was the moment I realised she wasn’t just someone I’d worked for.

She was family.

Seeing Symone in the audience at our recent Meat Loaf & Oasis show meant more to me than she’ll probably ever know. After everything she’s done for me over the years, having her there supporting me was a really special moment.

So, thank you, Symone.

Thank you for giving an 11-year-old lad a chance.

Thank you for teaching me about hard work, responsibility, business and life.

Thank you for believing in me, keeping me in line when I needed it, trusting me to DJ at the Christmas markets, and for becoming the person I’ll always proudly call my Market Mum.

Here’s to many more Saturday morning coffees, plenty more laughs, the odd tear, and knowing that no matter what happens, we’ll always be family. ❤️🍎🎧

As part of my 20 years of DJing celebrations, it’s time to say thank you to someone who has become much more than just a landlady…

Sabrina. 🎤

Five years ago this year, I played my very first DJ set at Keepers Lodge. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe how quickly those five years have gone.

The funny thing is, Keepers has always been part of my life. Mum and Dad used to drink there when I was in my pram, and Mum still enjoys a pint there now. So, in a way, it feels like I’ve come full circle.

From my very first night behind the decks, Sabrina made me feel incredibly welcome. She didn’t just treat me like the DJ; she treated me like part of the team… and before long, part of the family.

Sabrina is one of the most well-known people in the local community, and it’s easy to see why. She has a heart of gold and is constantly giving back. The amount of charity work and fundraising she does is unbelievable, and she never hesitates to help someone who needs it.

She was also one of the very first people Courtney and I told when we found out we were expecting Melodie. That says everything about how much she means to us and the friendship we’ve built over the years.

Sabrina has always looked after me. I’ll never forget the time my blood sugar dropped, and before I’d even had chance to sort myself out, she somehow appeared out of nowhere with a slice of chocolate cake! She always seems to know when someone needs a hand.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: if you’ve got Sabrina’s back, she’ll always have yours. Loyalty means everything to her, and that’s one of the many reasons she’s so respected.

We’ve shared so many brilliant nights together over the last five years. Karaoke, discos, charity events, festivals, fundraisers and plenty of laughs along the way.

And, of course, no Keepers night would be complete without telling Steve off for trying to sing “My Ding-a-Ling”… again! 😂

Or hearing the famous words…

“We’ve had a request for this one…”

If you’re a Keepers regular, you’ll know exactly what comes next!

Sabrina, thank you for believing in me, looking after me, and making Keepers Lodge feel like a second home. I often joke that I’ll still be DJing there when I’m old and grey… or until I get my P45! 😂

Here’s to many more years of karaoke, discos, fundraising, and making memories together.

Thank you for everything. ❤️🎧🍻

As part of my 20 years of DJing celebrations, I’d like to say thank you to someone who probably doesn’t even realise the impact she had on my life…

My very first music teacher, Mrs Shelley (Vonny). 🎵

There are always certain teachers from school who leave a lasting impression on you. For me, that was always Mrs Shelley.

Long before I was DJing, she was introducing me to music at Buswells Lodge Primary School. From singing lessons in the hall to teaching me in Year 6, she helped shape my love of music in ways I still appreciate today.

I can still remember sitting on the floor clapping along to the beat and creating rhythms to Dance the Night Away by The Mavericks. It’s funny how moments like that stay with you.

The songs we learned, the confidence you gave us, and the musical skills you taught have stayed with me ever since.

I still remember those solo singing parts in the Christmas plays, and even some of the vocal warm-ups we used back then… warm-ups that, believe it or not, I still use today!

Last year, before one of my Soul Supper shows, I even sent Vonny a video of me doing the famous “Chicken Tikka” warm-up. If you know… you know! 😂

What says everything about the kind of person Vonny is, though, happened much more recently. When Melodie was born, she sent her a beautiful gift. After all these years, that simple gesture meant so much to us and perfectly sums up the caring, thoughtful person she has always been.

I remember DJing for her leaving party and I still have the thank you card to this day

Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the two of us together, but I do have countless memories that I’ll always treasure.

So, thank you, Mrs Shelley.

Thank you for encouraging a young lad who simply loved music. Thank you for giving me confidence, teaching me skills that I still use today, and helping to spark a passion that eventually became a career.

You may have been my first music teacher, but your influence has lasted far beyond the classroom.

Thank you. 🎧🎶

As part of my 20 years of DJing celebrations, it’s time to give a shout-out to one of the biggest characters to have helped me over the years…

Yale! 🎧😂

Some of you will have seen Yale belting out a tune on karaoke… I’ll let you decide whether he’s any good or not! 🤣

Others will have seen him as one of my roadies, helping unload the van, set up the equipment, have the occasional go on the decks, and then pack everything away at the end of the night.

I first met Yale around ten years ago when his sister booked me for their Gran’s birthday party. We got chatting, hit it off straight away, and have been good mates ever since.

Not long afterwards, I was booked me for his sister’s birthday party at Leicester’s City Halls. He was already there waiting to help my Dad and me carry all the equipment upstairs before the party even started. That’s the sort of bloke he is.

Of course, after the gig we ended up hitting the town. Yale was probably a little bit too young to be out, but luckily Helsinki wasn’t too strict on ID back then! Safe to say he absolutely loved it… I think he was one song away from taking his shirt off! 😂

One thing I’ll always be grateful for was a few years ago when I had a family holiday to Spain booked at exactly the same time as several school proms. I trusted Yale with all of the equipment and the van then sent him off to DJ those events while I was enjoying the Spanish sunshine. That shows just how much faith I have in him.

This year, he’s got one of his biggest jobs yet, looking after the sound and lighting for our Meat Loaf & Oasis Tribute Show. It’s a huge responsibility, and I know he’ll do a brilliant job. If you see him on the night, make sure you say hello… just maybe not while the show’s running because he’s easily distracted! 😂

Yale has a heart of gold. He’s a proper live wire, always up for a laugh, but if you ever needed help, he’d be one of the first people there.

He’s also desperate to help us at the KEEPERS LODGE for Butlers in the Buff… although I genuinely think he’d be eaten alive! 🤣 (I’ll comment a photo of him practicing for butlers)

Yale, thank you for all the laughs, all the heavy lifting, the last-minute help, and for always being someone I can rely on. It’s mates like you that have made the last 20 years so memorable.

Here’s to many more gigs, many more laughs… and hopefully keeping your shirt on next time we hit the town! 🍻❤️🎧

Rather saddened by the news about Bonnie Tyler.

As most people know, I’m a huge Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman fan. Bonnie worked with Jim over the years, and together they created some truly unforgettable music. Jim’s incredible songwriting will continue to live on through the voices of both Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler for generations to come.

This Saturday we’ve got Man Cave Anthems at The Keepers Lodge, where the set is usually dedicated entirely to male artists… but I think we’ll make one exception and play a Bonnie Tyler classic as a small tribute.

Rest in peace Bonnie

As part of my 20 years of DJing celebrations, it’s time to say thank you to another person who has been there right from the very beginning…

My Mum, Clare.

Along with my Dad, Mum bought me my very first sound system from the legendary Maplin. Looking back now, I don’t think any of us realised that one purchase would turn into a 20-year journey.

Before I landed my first residential DJ job, Mum used to come along to a lot of my private gigs. Whether it was a birthday party, engagement or wedding, she was always there supporting me.

When I started my first residential DJ job at The Hansom Cab, that didn’t change. She’d often pop in to see me. Sometimes she’d be up on the dance floor enjoying herself, and other times she’d be perfectly happy sitting in the beer garden with a pint in one hand and a good book in the other, while still keeping an eye on how the night was going.

Twenty years on, not much has changed.

Mum still supports me today and regularly comes along to my residential gigs at Keepers Lodge. It means a lot knowing she’s still there cheering me on after all these years.

When I look back, I actually think my interest in DJing started long before I even realised it. Both Mum and Dad were heavily involved with Beavers and Scouts. I was a Beaver myself, and Dad was an Akela. There was always music playing at camps, discos and events, and I honestly believe that’s where my love of entertaining people first began.

People often see the person behind the DJ booth, but they don’t always see the family behind the DJ.

Mum has been there through every stage of this journey—from buying that first sound system, to supporting me at those early gigs, through the Hansom Cab years, and now still turning up to support me at Keepers Lodge.

Thank you, Mum, for believing in me from day one and for always being one of my biggest supporters. I couldn’t have asked for better parents to help me chase a dream.
