Age: 30

Occupation: Musician, DJ and Office Worker

“I’ve always loved the late 50s/early 60s style - the cut of the suits, the pomade in the hair, the folded handkerchief in the top pocket - and, as Dad’s an old Ted and Mum’s a Mod at heart, I grew up listening to the sounds of the 50s and 60s through their record collection (which I have now “borrowed” for my DJ nights).

I got into the Rockabilly “scene” about four years ago after I took Jive lessons -  there’s something very raw and wild about Rockabilly, R&B and even Skiffle and I formed our band Bad Bad Whiskey Skifflebilly Trio so that we can keep this music alive.”
