About me: Long time Manchester DJ & Promoter.
Been involved with too many clubs and events to mention over the years
but along the way....
Ran the "All That Jazz" club night for ten years in Manchester
at venues across the city including Band on the Wall, Jam nightclub,
The Green room, The Attic and Music Box. Guests over the years included
Amy Winehouse's first Northern appearance, Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova and
hundreds more I now struggle to remember!
I also ran Jam nights across the city starting at the Dancehouse bar on Oxford Road
where I was general manager and later on at Arch bar in Hulme, both now sadly gone but great memories.
Took over the old Manchester institution that is Cafe Pop in the Northern Quarter early 2007, now revamped
as Mod Pop Cafe, vegetarian & vegan retro styled cafe.
Still promoting a little too, Vertigo and Brazilian Soundclash being two regular events and occasionally
guest DJ for other events, recently playing at "Hit & Run" and the massive "Pangaea" party at
Manchester University.
