Paul Allen
(*vdj enabled)
A Doubledex Exclusive DJ*
|
I'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.

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

Alan
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 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.
