Tom
transferred to the Goldmine in 1975 after preventing a major punch up,
after that he worked with Hilly at The Goldmine then The Lacy Lady until
1978. When Hilly moved back to The Goldmine, Tom stayed on at The Lacy
Lady until its closure in 1979. It was during this time at the Lacy that
Tom was invited by Showstoppers to DJ at a brand new event, Caister.
From 1979 to 1984 Tom DJ'd all over the country at many of the top soul
venues, plus all the major All- dayers and Soul Weekenders.
In 1985 he took a back step from DJ'ing and moved into Club Manangement
but still carried on Dj'ing on a smaller scale.
Over the past century or two Tom has worked many times with one of the
UKs most prolific promoters, known only as Don Brian to his friends (but
all sorts of things behind his back!).
He
was invited to DJ at the Camber Sands Weekender and then asked to appear
at the new Caister Weekender, and has since had many happy times meeting
old and new faces at these events. Tom says he is looking forward to appearing
in this new Millennium with old friends and many new friends.
