The Southwest is renowned for being very hard to make a career in music do you have any advice for the up n' coming DJs and musicians?
DAVE
Don't come from there... No, not really, don't concentrate on one musical style. Try to build your own scene with resident clubs.

DAVE
Full of poncey techno clubs but also full of 'Avit it free parties, albeit a bit fragmented at the Mo'.

A Lighting Engineer probably, no a Plumber, no a Fireman, no a Vet/ Pornstar etc, etc.
