How did you get involved in this industry?
I have been running clubs for ten years now including Pacha London and the Cross.

I have been doing parties aboard the Golden Jubilee for 4 years now.
How many do you generally have per year?
Usually 1 but this year I am doing 2.
Which of our boats do you use and why?
My favourite is the Golden Jubilee, I think it has the best space.

What is the music style of the parties?
House music.
What type of crowd do you normally get?
25 – 35 a good mix of men to women.
Apart from the Thames, what is your favourite place to party?

The Gherkin or Battersea Park.
