Paul Allen  (*vdj enabled)                                                   A Doubledex Exclusive DJ* 

Paul AllenI'm Paul Allen and I've been playing tunes for parties since my days before long trousers. Back in the old days when none other than Pete Tong did my school's youth club disco's I was inspired to proclaim "That will be me one day!" Of course the rest is history, not least for Pete Tong.. All the talking came to an end when my parents bought a kit of gear for Christmas and set up the 1st gig in January 1980.

Aged just 18, little did I know just how long this was going to last. For the nostalgia driven I was at that time known as the "Supa-Disc" Mobile Disco.

 Turning Professional in 1985 you name it I've done it, from clubs and pubs to open air events. I've worked for Royalty, Politicians, lager louts and sensible people too. 

With a diverse repertoire and a friend to all approach I ensure that every party will go with a swing. With particular attention to formality when required, I consider myself a DJ for all occasions if ever there was one!

 Dave Cook                                                                   A Doubledex Exclusive DJ*  

Dave Cook has been a guiding force in the business almost since day one . Once Dave ate the Guinness book of hit singles for breakfast and can now tell me who sang what where and when along with the chart position, the colour of the label, even how many old pence it cost him on vinyl. 

Dave has a distinctive style and I'm not talking about his haircut!! His voice was made for the microphone and he has a stage presence yet to be equaled. Dave is not known for his beat mixing but it's true to say he has an instinctive ear for knowing what goes with what. 

A working DJ from the age of 16 the trade is second nature to Dave and he never fails to fill a dance floor.

Back on the firm following another very brief retirement Dave's 2008 dates are filling very fast indeed. Paul Allen.

Liam Lee  (*vdj enabled)                                                      A Doubledex Exclusive DJ* 

Liam is the youngest blood on our team at 24 which is well reflected in his enthusiasm. Unclouded by convention Liam has been trained exclusively on our computer system while working as a "Roadie".

His training was brought to a swift conclusion when he was thrown in at the deep end to cover the Christmas season 2005 at a local hotel following the untimely passing of one of our other top DJ's. Had the Hotel not since become the site of the new A2 he would have returned for the 2006 season in his own right.

Despite his young age Liam has the knowledge and the capability to undertake any conceivable type of function for all age groups.

Liam has also added to his repertoire an excellent Karaoke show with a quality of presentation that means we can now offer this service too. I have no doubt Liam has a long and prominent DJ career ahead. Paul Allen

Gary Freere (Picture to appear soon)

It took a few years to get Gary on the firm, forever busy we almost gave up. Then, one day we caught him on a rare night off and he undertook a last minute booking. After the event  the phone started ringing with customers wanting him for their function.  Even years later people still ask for him by name. 

Nobody can explain just why he's so great but it would seem that he has a knack of playing exactly the right thing at precisely the right time. All this along with the fact that he's one of the nicest blokes on the planet with a fantastic sound & light show means he will no doubt be one of our most requested DJ's for many years to come. Paul Allen.

 Alan James

Al JamesAlan James aka Big Al & Al Owboy has been with us since he was little Al, only kidding. Al has never been little! The gentle giant of pop is a former radio DJ remembered for his "Radio Stars Roadshow" Once the King of the Holiday Camp circuit, following a short spell in retirement he's back on the decks.

Choosing only to work where his style is appropriate it's fair to say Alan is best suited to the celebration type of party! Alan is possibly the supreme party jock and after your beer or two you'd be amazed at just what you'll be dancin'  to. 

Alan works as a duo with his wife Rachel who don't just sit there quietly either!! indeed we sometimes wonder just who's in charge here.. but seriously this great team do the business every time!!! Paul Allen.

Russell Christie  R.I.P.                                                  A Doubledex Exclusive DJ *

Russell ChristieRussell had been a DJ since the age of 18, at 39 he spent most of the years in-between working the clubs abroad. Recently coming home from a contract in Dubai he decided to apply his skills on the more varied mobile function market. And to great acclaim!

A highly accomplished beat mixer with an astonishing ability to mix tunes seamlessly regardless of genre, he used rare continental remixes of UK & US songs. For years he was known for his hard house style but was equally at home spinning the party classics. Either booked alone or as a second DJ with the deluxe package Russell added a memorable dimension to any event. 

Sadly Russell died suddenly & instantly on November 25th 2005. Russell will not only be missed by the industry the world over but enormously by myself as anyone who knew us both knew also,  we were more like brothers, which is why he remains in place here for the time being.  All bookings have been covered and A full obituary will appear on this website in due course. Paul Allen.
