I am also a singer, specialising in music from the same era.. From my first DJ set in 2005, I’ve always loved playing music for dancers. In our own dance classes, I love playing a mix of music from the 30s - 50s and take pride in keeping the dance floor busy. When required, I am able to work within a musical genre and I am enjoying taking on more and more work at 1940s events where I compere and t

each in addition to DJing. I have extensive experience in a wide range of settings and am just as comfortable playing for a crowd of thousands as for a small birthday party. Either way, you will get the same from me: a determination to get everyone moving, whether that’s toe tapping or swingin’ out on the dance floor. I look forward to talking to you about how I might help at your event!

Great Music for Dancing

From my first DJ set in 2005, I’ve always loved playing music for dancers. In our own dance classes, I love playing a mix of music from the 30s - 50s and take pride in keeping the dance floor busy. When required, I am able to work within a musical genre and I am enjoying taking on more and more work at 1940s events where I compere and teach in addition to DJing.

I have extensive experience in a wide range of settings and am just as comfortable playing for a crowd of thousands as for a small birthday party. Either way, you will get the same from me: a determination to get everyone moving, whether that’s toe tapping or swingin’ out on the dance floor.

I look forward to talking to you about how I might help at your event!
