Terry Wogan for DJ Mag Top100 (2011)

2011-07-28T16:18:00.000-07:00

For no reason I'm starting a campaign to get Terry Wogan into the DJ Magazine Top 100 DJ's list for 2011

Support the cause......

appologies to b3ta user Rum from whom I've snatched the shopped DJ Wogan image.... it's an oldie from Jan 2008

So I've not updated in a while... meh! been busy.
Got call out-of-the-blue from a former... lets say benefactor [lights has always been a hobby] who had a commission for me.
Introducing Merchant City, Glasgow's newest late night boogie-on-down hot spot ----

Long story short -

Main Room - 6x Robe 575 Scans / 6x Robe 250 Heads / 1x Pulsar MP108 controller

Room 2 - 4x Robe 250 Scan / 4x Robe 160 Head / 4x Robe 250 roller / 1x Pulsar MP96 controller

Took a good few hours but the shows have been running for two weeks and all seems well.

Might get round to taking a few pictures and posting at some point in the future.

AtticFest2 at R@TT, Bathgate

2011-03-21T12:02:00.000-07:00

What a classic way to start a new blog.... One of the biggest live music events I've been involved with. AtticFest returns to Bathgate. This second event follows from the success of February (Dykeenies, The Law, Dead Sea Souls, Strawberry Ocean Sea, The Begbies, and more).

Event 2 - AtticFest (Goldie Lookin' Chain, The Fire and I)

Facebook event page

Tickets £10/£15 (over 18s / ID yadda yadda)

As you can see this event is headlined by Goldie Lookin' Chain. Last seen these Welsh brigands at the Wickerman Festival last year where they entertained by shoutin out classics comedic raps from their back catalogue.... any new tunes? ermmm don't think so.

But thats the whole point - who cares - they entertain the crowd.

The other group I'm looking forward to is The Fire and I. Been too many years since I've last spotted this duo of noise merchants. (debut album "Stampede Finale" is now available from iTunes, Amazon, HMV, Play)
