This shot perfectly sums up the vibe of the night—pure energy, joy, and some seriously impressive dance moves from the guests! 💃🕺 It was a privilege to DJ such an unforgettable celebration for The Best Men . Nights like this remind me why I love what I do.

Had an ace time DJing Actress and Bishop (official) and got home and found a Key and Peele sketch I've never seen before.

Winning!

I never find one I haven't seen before any more!

Time for some more gig spam I hadn't got round to uploading:

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Soil, Hed PE, Nonpoint, and THE UNION UNDERGROUND Official at KK'S Steel Mill - Live Music in Wolverhampton, joined by the fiercely talented unstoppable force that is Kate of Kate's Clothing.

It was a proper nostalgia trip back to my late teens and early 20s. and they didn't disappoint!

Soil's guitarist, powered through quite a bit of the gig with a persistent strap failure, still rocking out while a techie fixed it on the fly! And we bumped into a few band members outside while heading to the car. (Check out that photobomb by Elias Soriano Nonpoint!)

Facebook seems to have stopped being very silly now, but is still being a bit silly... but here's some more photos and vids from Breed 77, Red Method, and Black Water Fiend at The Castle & Falcon last week.

24/11/2024

I'm sure you used to be able to post more than one video at a time, but here: have a vid from the Breed 77, Red Method, and Black Water Fiend gig on Thursday at The Castle & Falcon.

Really good to see Breed 77 again! First time in about 20 years!

2 great support acts too!!

23/11/2024

Throwback to last October at Dan and Jodie’s wedding at The Out Barn Weddings & Events for The Best Men where the dancefloor turned into a full-blown emo-goth revival! 🎤✨ Evanescence ’s ‘Wake Me Up Inside’ had everyone singing their hearts out—proof that weddings and rock ballads are a match made in heaven. 🖤🔥

Fellow Brummies - I reckon you should check out ALT BLK ERA at The Flapper while they're still doing pub gigs.

It might be your last chance to see them somewhere small...

Excited to announce that tickets for our first UK TOUR are 𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗪!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Let's Go!!!

✨ A Magical Moment ✨

I haven't posted anything about last week's wedding! It was my last one of the year and it was for Ben and Alex, at Fforest Farm in Pembrokeshire, for the The Best Men

The couple kicked off their wedding celebration with the perfect first dance to Old Old Fashioned by Frightened Rabbit. 💕 After a while, they invited everyone to join them on the dance floor and it’s moments like this that make weddings so special—seeing everyone come together, laughing, dancing, and sharing in the love. 💍💃🕺

Thank you, Ben and Alex, for letting me be a part of such a memorable evening. Your dancefloor was buzzing all night, and I’m so glad I could help create the soundtrack to your big day.

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, and an amazing time on your mini-moon and trip to Japan! ✨

16/11/2024

Today, I'm really getting about!
I'm on the road to Pembrokeshire for The Best Men and absolutely buzzing for tonight’s wedding at Fforest Farm!

I’ve got a some great tunes lined up for Ben and Alex that’s going to make the dance floor unforgettable.

They’ve requested some absolute bangers, from the punk-pop energy of My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy to indie vibes with The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a finish full of female artists and female-fronted bands like Stevie Nicks, Blondie, CSS, and Lorde.

But here’s my favourite part – they’ve asked for "...Alive with the Glory of Love" by Say Anything 🙌 I've absolutely adored this tune for years, but it’s rare to find anyone else who even knows it, let alone loves it, so I rarely get to play it out!

Can’t wait to drop this tune and see the reaction – I already know it’s going to be a highlight of the night. Let’s get ready to make some memories in Wales! 🎉✨
