GRAHAM CHARLES is a DJ with twenty-five years experience who has played all over the world alongside many other famous names. The book follows Graham as he discovers his love of music as a child and the events that led him to this path.
Starting out in London as a street dancer he gets the chance to become a real DJ. Starting at a time in the early ’80s, Graham takes the reader through the highs and lows, the experiences, the fun and sadness, of becoming a professional DJ.
Learning the art of entertainment at a popular holiday park, he then takes us on an international journey as he heads for Switzerland and the adventures experienced there. Then back to the UK and a meeting with the owner of one of the top nightclubs of it's time, 'The Pink Elephant' to talk his way into a residency. At 'The Park' in London, Graham sees how his skills are matched against other DJ's in the DJ of the Year Competition.
Brighton is the next port of call and here we see why DJ's don’t fare too well in relationships. A Bunny Boiler comes to visit with disastrous results. France comes calling next and apart from drugs, robbery, slander and getting fired, it seemed a quiet time there.
Then the country that changed everything, Malta. Graham is introduced to many people who would have a life-changing effect and create an affinity with the people of this small island that continues to the current day. The Sunday Sports girls, giant jellyfish, and 'The Grim Reaper' are the topics in these chapters, along with the formulation of the very naughty Beach Bums Club.
The Ministry of Sound features in the following chapter and how Graham managed to play there. London brings Graham face to face with meeting hot dancers and an UZI sub-machine gun. In Hollywood’s a fake rave group called Hardcore gets a gig! Later, in New York, USA, Graham gets even closer to guns and the mafia!
An often hilarious insight to the world of entertainment, music and how to become a top DJ! This book is a valuable resource for up-and-coming DJ's with tips and advice cemented in between Graham’s witty stories as he plays around the world sharing the adventures & mishaps that happen along the way. From London to New York, France to Malta. From a humble start to playing to 1000's!
