errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm

LA NUIT Mobile Disco 1978 to 1983....fantastic life on the road with crappy CLOUD twin turntable disco unit, a nasty pair of home made loud speakers that rattled, and 6 dodgy flashing lights that rarely flashed unless you kicked them......weddings and birthdays and special events from Leeds to Chesterfield and all in between.....specialized in those cliche 'general mix' DJ nights playing all that 60's and 70's rubbish...still got all my 7" singles in attic, about 3000......great days...

also worked PT at various Riding stables and private livery yards 1978 to present......LOVE horses.....no money in it but just fun!
3 days at Midland Bank, Sheffield, 1980, as 'messenger boy' on some crap wage...walked out on 3rd day due to crappy manager telling me what to do.....
never got a 'proper' job again and re-focused on DJ career

Club DJ 1978 to 1999, mainly self employed, working for such mega names as Leadmill, Roxy, Republic (aka Gatecrasher),
Cairos, Tiffany's (aka Bed) Sheffield City Hall, Faces (aka Charles Street), Treetops (aka Bed top floor), Sheffield University Students Union (Pop tarts 4 years, Loveshack 2 years, etc, private hire DJ for student parties too).....the list is endless.....loadsa money for playing records all night and pulling birds......GREAAAAAT..

Ebay Stores 1999 to 2006....best way at the time to make money online with not a great deal of work

Pub Owner 2006 to present working on building a portfolio of pubs/small group......finally get to pay everyone else to do all the work..LOL
planning to start a classic car business in future, and also pig farming....
