DJ OSKA

Well, my set-up is finally on the road Did a gig on 28th November which was good. Felt great to be in charge of my own disco again, but PROPERLY this time, as I've now got my gantry and speaker stands sorted. just waiting on the name board now... :-) Word of mouth has got me a disco each month up untill June and most of these are confirmed bookings too! The van is on the road and looks good with the tranfsers on and after its had a good clean-up (white vans never seem to stay white for long...) Also, it seems I'm going to be busy with Graham's Silver Fox Sounds disco too next ye

Anyone else get requests from people who tend to disappear once the track's been queued? Happens to us all the time. We'll play it, if you'll listen to it!

Well I turned up at a gig when I was DJing for mates bday parties and I got handed a bag of CDs and told to play everything off them!

Also, I had a home-made disco in my bedroom which consisted of battery torches and light boxes that my
