Resident DJ @ Qwerk Manchester. 2nd Friday Monthly at Sub 101 - Manchester's Gay Village.

Marc’s passion in music started back in his old school days listening to Radio 1 getting ready for the day ahead.

In secondary school in the 80’s Marc threw every career tutor & advisor off track when they asked him what did he want do … 'I want to be a DJ ‘…not one advisor could advise him or get him on the right path that he needed. They even tried to persuade him to stack shelves in a supermarket!! Marc’s response was ‘What’s that got to do with music!!’

Eventually Marc persuaded the school music was his passion an finally got him a weeks’ worth of experience at a hospital radio station.

Marc used to sneak into the pubs clubs and bars back in his Welsh home town, well underage just to watch and listen to other dj’s and try to get a little session behind the dj booth….but deep inside he knew the big city lights were calling …….

After Moving to Manchester back in 90’s Marc played a few small bars and the force that was Flesh, Paradise Factory & Danceteria fuelled his obsession even more, but another change and career move took him to London and away from the crowd and the tunes he loved so much in Manchester.

It was the move to London and discovering Trade, FF & DTPM along with a few other that totally opened Marc senses to the much harder sound of Gay London.

Luckily enough to work in a nightclub he managed to persuade the owner to let him leave the bar behind a hone his skills in a safe environment to a crowd that he knew.

Another career move eventually took him in a different direction and sadly music had to be put on the back burner …for now!

In 2002 moving back to Manchester brought Marc back to

the city he loved so much but so much had changed by then …Corporate world was calling and he needed to focus on his ‘Proper’ job…so music became the hobby at home after a stressful day in an office environment.

Being introduced to Fay & Mike and becoming friends is where the next chapter started, and after a night out and the musical chit chat it was still evident the passion was there it just needed pushing back to the top of his thoughts. A night out with his partner Colin, Faye & Mike and the chill out afterward is where Faye & Mike created Qwerk. Knowing his passion, seeing his old home set up they ask him would he like to come back to start playing again …..the rest is history !!

Faye & Mike have given Marc the opportunity over the last few years to play alongside some of his most favourite DJ’s to name but a few, Andy Daniels (Hedkandi) Danny Phillips, Andy Carrol (Cream), Dave Booth (Garlands) Jamie Bull (Homo) …but the icing on the cake was persuading Blu Peter (FF) to play at Qwerk after a 10 year break from music…Marc’s favourite DJ and all time idol !!
