Music

 

I have had the pleasure of booking and working with over 3000 artists in my 14 years at the helm of The Big Chill, including debut appearances for many formative artists.

I compose, produce and remix under the name of Chilled By Nature. The album 'Under One Sun' was released in 2006.

I have enjoyed compiling many albums since The Cutting Edge at Cooking Vinyl in 1987...

I was first invited to DJ by Vince Power at The Mean Fiddler in 1985 and haven’t stopped enjoying playing my music to an audience

I have been a radio presenter for BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Chill and other stations...
