Always wanted to be a DJ since a very early age.

Started listening to the BBC radio program "Pick of the Pops" when it was a recognized chart show. It was introduced back then by Alan Freeman, who came over to Britain from Melbourne, Australia... from here it all started for a very young Terry and it was from here where he took a very keen interest.

Then along came the pirates, BBC Radio 1, followed by local commercial radio. He joined Hospital Radio in 1973 where he got to know a local resident DJ who taught him all the finer points of both Radio Broadcasting and Disco DJ-ing. It was not until he managed to save up for his first set of decks in 1978, met and joined forces with another local DJ and the rest is history.

Although Radio was his main ambition he never got there, but instead he secured many residencies. Three of those were local nightclubs. Many others were at summer seasons, locally, in holiday parks and local hotels. He has even been asked to do some charity shows as well. One of which was a scanner appeal for one of his local hospitals.

He even done gigs for his local BT Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme students.

Over the years, both on the road, in clubs and hotels, he developed a big reputation with clientele of all ages.

Sadly in 1990 he had to bow out of the job due to illness and family trouble. In his infinite wisdom he kept up with the record collection and later in year 2000 he moved house, after which he got the bug back and hopefully, ready to carry on where he left off.

He hopes to make it back big time this summer....
