The Old Boy
The Old Boy
Hailing from all over, THE OLD BOY plays an eclectic mix of soul, jazz, rare groove, funk, house, garage, hip hop; hitting that sweet spot between ol’ skool, nu skool and soulful. Like granary bread with the seeds; wholesome…edgy on the outside, warm in the middle!
THE OLD BOY has played most of Leicester’s haunts over the past 3 decades; resident for The Original Four, backroom for Miss. Moneypennys, Revolution locally & nationally and after parties for touring acts passing through Birmingham’s concert arenas circuit. He has also graced the airwaves on local radio before. And still plays vinyl if that aesthetic lends itself well to the ambience.
- A lover of music first & foremost.
- Playing everything soulful across all genres.
- Full phat, ol’ skool eclectica : party music for party people : “back to mine”, intimate settings.
- A vinyl purist moved across to digital.
- Mixing & smooth transitions above all else.
- 35 years & counting as a DJ and in music in one guise or another – across radio, promoter, DJ agent/ artist management, music journalism and now licensing & royalties.
- Most content providing the audible backdrop for events, concerts & festivals.
- Favourite first toy, Fisher Price record player; the one that had the multi-coloured, plastic records with the deep grooves and that all stored in the slot in the back of the record player!…the rest was meant to be!
