HOW IT ALL STARTED
Tony was always interested in music and as a teenager played bass guitar in a few local groups made up of friends,he then started to visit one or two venues and became interested in DJing,at first he made friends with a local DJ called Graham Gold and Graham used to let him have a go on the decks early in the night after a while Tony started to do more and more of the night,later when Graham deceided to retire Tony was offered Thursday and Friday nights at the disco in the back room of his local pub the Fernhurst in Blackburn.
Tony then went on to work at various venues in Blackburn and also to do lots of mobile disco's.
Not long after this Tony went on holiday to Spain and noticed that most of the DJs mixed and blended the records together and found this fascinating.
Not long after Tony moved to London and worked in Clubs and Bars and also did mobile discos.The interest in mixing was still there and Tony decided to book himself a few hours mixing tuition at noise gate studios in London and was taught by Double Trouble who were responsible for a few hit singles one of which you can see below.
