Cerberfest IVX 1.7.2023

OK, first real DJ event for me since January. Certainly not my usual style of event, but it was good to get back out there again, plus this time, it was all for charity. Also good for me to play material I rarely get to play, and while a majority of the sets were played to somewhat quieter audience numbers due to the heat and in between the bands, I certainly hope those that heard the sets enjoyed them. Cheers to Chris Cummins for letting me join in the festivities.

The 60th Wedding Anniversary Bash (Private Party)

So going back to the 13th April 1963. My parents tied the knot, and 60 years later, managed to notch up their diamond anniversary (although I saw no signs of any precious stones exchanging hands!) I was so proud to be part of their special event, happily performing DJ duties once more at The Leaside Hotel in Luton. Armed with just my laptop, and the venues own bluetooth speaker, we whipped up a storm with the showcase of playing music in the order of 1959. 60, 61, 62, 63 (x2), 64 and the odd one from 1965 to make up the numbers, which worked well for the majority of the night. Considering too that the average age must have been 75+, good to see a well attended night and I received so many compliments regarding the music played. Job well done I do believe!

CerberStacks, Dois Padres & DJ Russ at the 'Orse! 14.1.2023

My first venture of the new year, with great thanks to Cerberstacks for their very kind offer to host the DJ duties. I haven't actually DJed at the 'House since May 2017, and considering I used to run my Thursday Fury nights there, it still feels odd to return to my old local after all these years. But this is the closest thing I have to a friendly local now, so expect to see me in there a bit more often!

Anyway, tonight gave me the chance to play tracks I haven't touched since my last Whitby horrorpunk appearance back in Halloween 2009, mixed in with extra garage 60s and psyche. Also playing around Dois Padres and Cerberstacks served up what turned out to be a great evenings entertainment including a great bonus for me in meeting friends and an old flame I haven't seen in 25 years+!

So thanks to all involved, especially Matt for the necessary DI box!!

Armagideon Times 11.11.2022

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

So did anyone else that attended get the relevance of the title of the night? Coincidence? Fate? Who knows. All I can tell you is, this is certainly not the first time Greene King has fucked over its punters and entertainers by putting ignorant landlords into a pub with such a strong history, and if the sub heading is anything to go by, doubt it'll be the last.

So, musically, somewhat of a departure for me, but surely another string to my bow (?) and after having the original date scrubbed due to Covid, this was my best chance to play this set. Unfortunately, the new landlords had other ideas. Welcome to Friday nights in Luton! 

With no passing trade, and very little to even venture into Luton for these days (so God bless Andy Chesham for his continuing nights at THF.) But they, I'm professional right? 20 years under my belt, I can read a crowd well and I'm also open to requests and obviously had a very good idea whom would be attending (hence the event anyway!) Yet I still had praise and people dancing from what few people were in the pub. Even if you only please that one person, its never a waste of your time. 

But what is a waste of my time is being constantly told the new landlords don't appreciate what I'm playing and insist I start playing 80s. Hello - have you seen who's in your pub? I even get blamed for people leaving throughout the early part of the night. Nothing to do with the fact your bar is very poorly stocked, and you've put out those god damn uncomfortable chairs that the previous tenants have been trying to sell for over 12 months!!

Well, after four arguments with the power tripping landlords daughter, I've had enough, close it down, pick up my posters, inform the supporting punters and walk, leaving them with no entertainment, and an even emptier pub. I think their line "We own this pub. We didn't book you.' Do what we tell you" was the clincher. I gave up trying to explain I was trying to help them make money, but they obviously know better. Last time I'll drink or entertain in there whilst its under its present occupancy. Think you know better than me? Fucking good luck to you - you're gonna need it. As most of you know, it took a lot of courage for me to do the night considering my recent past, but that's me done now until the landlords are replaced.(Apparently their last straw was the 'house' music I was playing. That was the Killing Joke track. Think that says it all!)

1982 - The 40th Anniversary Special 13.8.2022

 
The finale descends, and instead of going off with a bang, thanks to the clapped out equipment at the pub, the music barely lifts any spirits and we’re playing through only one speaker! Thankfully, our god of tech, Russ manages to pinpoint the problem to the amp, although we’ve struggled with the dodgy mixer for years, and after plenty of tweaking finally we’re underway at full blast. Luckily, the earlier start was a good move!
 
Annoyances aside, I was so pleased to see so many people supporting my night, many I haven’t seen for years regardless of Covid! We had also drawn more of a crowd than for my recent anniversary event, and considering it was still 30° the pub itself when we started the crowds were on a par with the gathering masses outside. Usual dodgy requests throughout the night, but I remained adamant that I stick to my original plan of 1982. But plenty of compliments throughout the night, and even dancing towards the end. Hell, it was too hot for the better part of the night anyway, and I was fully expecting to be playing to an empty room considering the heat, so all’s well that ends well!
 
So I’ve now 191 nights under my belt at The George 2nd, and hopefully more to come in the future, although time will tell. I’ve still loads of ideas, prewritten sets and designed posters ready at my fingertips, all waiting for a bid to be played – just need the venue. When I originally wrote and booked the night, I had no idea it was to be my last, so here’s hoping that Greene King doesn’t fuck with the already proved formulae. Keep watching the skies people, and obviously a great big thank you to all your loyal support over the years.

20 Years Of Dark Night In Luton 23.7.2022

First off, as with all my past events, I was overwhelmed at the support showed, especially at those that travelled a distance to support me, and as always, I thank you very much for your efforts, with a special thanks to Russ for making the nights sound so good!

Looking back, July 2018 was my last DJ anniversary set, celebrating 16 years at the time. I didn’t even acknowledge 2019, and obviously we lost 2020/2021, and ironically, I was trying to do back then what I was trying to achieve again this time and I’d even written myself a warning in my review of the night telling myself not to try again! My efforts to spread the word through local media failed, with 3CR ignoring all my messages, and even mp Rachel Hopkins, commended by myself for her acknowledgement of small businesses around the town, failed to reply, preferring to attend ‘Afrofest’ for her own political ends no doubt! 

So with my return from a weeks break in Devon the day before, there was no build up for me for the event, which was definitely strange, but any excuse to dig out those old goth club hits once more to an understanding audience, even if ‘hot night syndrome’ was in full force, pushing the majority of people outside for the better part of the night. 

As it was also such a milestone event, I’d gone through many past Coven pictures to try and rekindle past friendships to those that faded away after the closure of The Coven, but many didn’t bite or turn up, so I spent the night taking out those songs I’d especially included to a more receptive crowd. Weirdly enough, there were plenty of songs I sadly never got around to play (Merry Thoughts, Star Industry, Sheep On Drugs etc) yet ended up playing more that I hadn’t heard in years, especially towards the end of the night.

And lastly, as I also mentioned in my recent adverts, this was my 190th event at The George 2nd, and I only have one more night currently booked in August before our friendly landlord Eric hands back the keys back to Greene King in mid September. Heaven knows what will happen to the pub after this, especially with GKs past total mismanagement and failures, so support the pub while you can.

God Save The Queen - The Anti-Jubilee Special @ G2 4.6.2022

So let's try and capture the mood. So whilst the majority of the brainwashed, moronic public blindly celebrate our pointless and outdated monarch, whom is basically too decrepit now to even perform her own duties, yet witlessly unwilling to relinquish any of her powers to someone slightly less senile whilst her subjects look forward to a bleak, cold and hungry future, somehow, in a small town pub in the east midlands, gather a group of anarchic fun seekers in search of their true anthems of life. 

For me, it's been a long road back - approx. two years, two months and 28 days since I last sat in the DJ chair, and boy - have I fucking missed it. Whilst in lockdown, this gave me plenty of opportunity to start cleaning up my laptop, and giving it a good upheaval of music of stuff that I doubt I'd ever play, and writing new sets for future possibilities. Can't say I was ever really sure about finding an opportunity for this particular set, but thankfully there cometh the platinum jubilee, and what a better excuse. I must have worked on this set for weeks on end to tweak and perfect the flow, only for the first and following requests to be mainly from 1978 and then some! Thus hence, any plans to try and stay true to my original form was just abandoned, although at the end of the night, there was only twenty songs I never actually got round to playing but they were mainly disco anyway! In the end, we played 92 songs from 78 bands with 26 requests.

Luckily the crowd were exactly whom I was hoping for, so for me, the night couldn't of gone any better, and I heartedly thank all that supported the night, sang your hearts out, and danced away. Thanks also to for those that shared the event on farcebook, not forgetting a big 'fuck you' go to the few local businesses and certain local on-line publications that wouldn't help advertise due to the theme of this successful night. Whom exactly are you trying to protect??
