   About DJ78
He's the DJ in a DJ with a pre-vinyl playlist!

Using a pair of 1930's HMV wind-up gramophones and a big box of 78rpm shellac discs, DJ78 provides atmosphere and entertainment in equal measure.
Playing an eclectic selection of popular music from the dancebands of the 20's to the rock'n'roll pioneers of the 50's he makes any social gathering that little bit classier. Looking dapper in his dinner suit and dicky bow, DJ78 can work completely independent of electricity, but has also been known to use modern technology when the circumstances necessitate.

Here he is with satisfied client Alex James and Greg from Greg's Greats 78s

Photobucket

...and here he is, mixing masterfully, at The Latitude Festival...
