Ste's DJing History

So you wanna be a DJ then huh?  Well, me little flowers, for me it all "started" when I was a sweet or should I say bloody annoying 12 year old!  I used to tape the Top 20 Chart Singles Show on Radio 1 on Sunday evenings on a portable mono cassette recorder, Remember them? .. well mebbe not hinnies!  I used to tape it off the Rediffusion Cable Radio (yeah but no but yeah like we had CABLE in 1972!!! So there tarts!) I had to wear cans and of course I used to sing along to the tunes and mimic the DJ's.  Used to drive me mam and dad round the bend! They used to take the piss and  say things like.. " who do you think you are?? you will never be Jimmy Saville"... True never did sound like im and I friggin detest cigars!! Ow's about that then guys 'n' gals? Anyhow I went from those early beginnings to doing garage disco's (not what you think btw lol) and then getting my first set of "proper" gear.  Made a fookin' mint I did and all before I left school!  Did quite a few school disco's while I was at the Avenue Comprehensive at Newton Aycliffe, drove the teachers loopy!!  Whilst in the RAF I did some radio work and proper mobile "shows" including a bit of dressing up as Burley Chassis! and miming!  Sadly no photos exist of me doing that and if there was you wouldn't fookin see them!

After leaving the RAF I mooched around and did some radio and community radio work.  I then started part-time work for a Mobile disco called "SLO-MO-SHUN" with Big Terry and the rest of the gang.  Had some great gigs all over the North East.  SLO-MO-SHUN then changed ownership, Twice in fact.  I then got fed up with them all and fell out with the last owners!

I then jumped ship  ( ahh the glorious days of Caroline... shit I wish!! ) to Phase One Disco's also in Darlington and spent several years with them doing mainly mobile disco's as well some promotional work.  The gigs were many and varied and working long hours into the wee small hours for a few farthings a night ! Weddings, birthdays, piss-up's, leaving do's and xmas parties...you name it I did it!  I "retired",  due to my hearing going dodgy and the late nights/early mornings were beginning to take their toll.  I sold nearly all my vinyl and hung up me mike and headphones for good!  I was very tempted to come out of retirement during the last 15 years by various tarts waving pound notes under my nose .. but I resisted although once a DJ, always a DJ!! 

So here I am now and tekkin it easy as the years creep by and I get more knackered by the day!  The headphones are back on and I've made friends with my microphone again.  It's tekkin some doin as the drugs I gotta take, have taken their toll on me gob amongst other things !! lol.

Have a fookin larfff now and view some pics of me over the years trying to mek a few farthings as a DJ.  Click here.
