How long have you been DJ’ing?
I’ve been doing this for about four years now.

I only DJ on Phonic FM.
What has been your most embarrassing DJ’ing moment?
One of my most embarrassing moments was putting on a song that I’d neglected to remember was full of swear words! Oops! Then having to apologise profusely to the listeners before we got a barrage of complaints!
What has been your best DJ’ing moment?
One of my best moments was playing a sequence featuring Captain Beefheart, Benny Goodman and The Fall, it shouldn’t work but it did!
