 A shot in the dark I think , but does anyone in the midlands area of the uk 
 remember a dj that worked on Beacon radio back in the late 70's early 
 80's...who just called himself  KKJ ?? 
 To be honest he was my main inspiration for becoming a dj, he hosted the 
 Saturday night disco show, as it was called then! I was in my final years of 
 high school, and joined forces with a couple of mates, bought some cheap 
 decks, speakers and lights...FAL light boxes for the people that remember 
 them! 
 Then went round every pub in the area offering free disco's...well almost 
 free, just drinks !! Now years later I am still doing it, lost contact with 
 my mates, one works for Reuters news agency in Paris..the other I haven't 
 got a clue! 
 Over the years I have worked in Ibiza, Tenerife, some of the big clubs in 
 Birmingham, but still keep coming back to the mobile disco as that's sort of 
 where it all started for me. 
 The job isn't really the same, years back when I was well known ..I used to 
 get offers from all over to work, nowadays your lucky if you have one drink 
 bought you by the people booking the party ! 
 Anyway I'll stop going on !! If anyone remembers KKJ post your memories, it 
 would be great if even he was reading this...his full name I think was Kris 
 Kennedy junior. 
 Also what are your views on the currant independent radio stations?...they 
 all sound the same to me, the djs sound as if they are reading from a script 
 and seem to have lost any kind of personality..wheres all the fun gone!
