Just want to make things clear!!! So here goes.......
Ritchie who is the singer and promoter at "Queen Mary" first of all approached a local DJ to DJ at a venue.But because he had no response from him,he asked me & Martin to DJ for him instead and we both said yes. He also asked Max to be a guest!! The first venue he looked at was in Birmingham,but neither of us were keen on the idea!! So Ritchie knocked that one on the head. After a couple of weeks he had been to look at a venue and he was happy with it and booked and paid up front there and then!! He then told us all about it to which we replyed it clashes with the Connaught & J9!! And we suggested him changing the date!! But he said that this was the only date available and he that had also booked Dave Evison. I will make a stand for Ritchie and say that he had,nt realised the clash,and booked it without realising. But at the time anyway there were no other known venues in Dudley.
Wish peeps would,nt keep thinking that i,m a promoter.......cos i ain,t as i,ve already stated!!! The only thing i,ve ever done concerning venues, is to support the venue, and the promoters of the venues that mean something to me!!! This i have done and will continue to do so by putting flyers out.......posting up in events & event lookbacks.........and word of mouth!!! These are some venues i have personally done this for with pleasure.......

Just like to add before i finish.......any DJ in i have done is because i,ve been asked to do it!!! And will gladly do it purely for pleasure & passion!!!
