“Mick has over 35 years experience working in the music industry, from discos to quiz nights, corporate events and radio work.
He has the knowledge and skill to make your night a musical success, playing requests at a sensible volume.”
Mick performed his first disco in 1985, he was asked by his careers teacher at school what he wanted to do, he said "be a DJ". She booked him for her birthday party at The Original Oak in Headingley.
Mick was too young to drive, his father took him in his campervan to the gig, his equipment was mostly home made (by his dad), and the amp and speakers were a VOX system borrowed from his uncle Tony who was in a band.
At the start of his career Mick carried over 600 singles and LPs all on vinyl, he upgraded to CDs in 1990 and then onto mp3 in 2000.
Mick has a simple formula to provide the best discos and that is to play requests.
Even back at the beginning of his career, Mick would make the effort to keep up to date with the latest tunes and always tried to play as many requests as he could. Mick has gone from doing discos in pubs and clubs, to being a star of YouTube and TIKTOK
