Torquay


About Me:

We unleash our vinyl collection twice a month at Torquay's Green Room: RETRO SOUL & FRIDAY ON MY MIND, the 1st & 3rd friday nights of the month. New Years Eve we DJ at Yum Sing, Torquay's premier Chinese restaurant. This restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and the best, home cooked food - really a night not to be missed! Have DJ'd recently at Ruby Slipper's Retro Romp 2011, Sixties nights at Premier Cru Cocktail Bar, Going Underground punk/new wave nights, The Attic nightclub, various private parties and scooter club events, compered at the Occombe Music festival and most recently DJ'd at Lemonfest, Newton Abbot's music festival. History: We both DJ'd full-time throughout the 1990's, taking a break to have children and now returning together as The Vinyl Avengers! DJ Loadz built a name for himself as a long-standing Mod DJ in Devon. Lady Jade grew up in L.A. on a diet of NYD, Iggy & Soul Train. Worked for the legendary Kim Fowley in Hollywood. Moved to London, where she was influential in the psychedelic scene of the 1980's, managing bands Miles Over Matter, Treatment & Bad Detective, along with staging the Great Mango party. Promoted and DJ'd the notorious Valley of the Dolls club in Carnaby Street. DJ'd in Tokyo and London, sharing a stage with the James Taylor Quartet, Bruce Willis(!) and many other acts. Most memorable night was DJ'ing for Rod Stewart, a great lover of Motown. We currently reside in Torquay and have been DJ'ing locally for the past 3 years. In addition to our regular nights, we are available for selected private events.

    The Who at Torquay Town Hall poster is from July 1965. If you paste the following into Google Image then you'll be able to save many more: "The Who Torquay Poster".

    There is another Who Torquay Town Hall poster from August 1965 ("By Demand The Return Of The Who"), and another from August 1966. There is also a Kinks poster, a Jimmy James and The Vagabonds/The Cream from 1966, and a Jeff Beck poster, all from Torquay Town Hall. Here's the same Who Poster without the frame and a few others I found:

    You can buy the originals of these posters by following the links after you have done the search on Google Images. I hope you like them. See you both at the Len Price 3 gig next Friday. All the best, David.

    Hi there DJ & The Lady, I don't get down to Torquay all that often, but will try and plan my next visit around one of your events. I hope to meet you both at the Len Price 3 gig in Putney in a fortnight. I'll be the short blond mod with a blue boating blazer on. See you there! All the best, David.
