What were you doing between the apprenticeship and starting your own accountancy business?
4:54
I was a house DJ, DJing at nightclubs and pubs around the north-west of England, so Manchester, Liverpool, Preston.

I got my first set of decks when I was about 17, 16, 17, and straight out of school, and that is really what I wanted to do.
5:12
Then again, 2005, 2006, I was... working full-time in accountancy starting my professional qualifications my then girlfriend now wife had gone to university and as a way of hanging to go to see her at Manchester at the weekend I was like I'll see if I can get some DJ work which I did and then before I knew it I was DJing sort of three four nights a week and like revolution bars and places like that and it wasn't really that compatible with with my job as accountancy and I was sort of asked in a nice way to make a choice and I did and thought well again a bit like I was just saying earlier about going into accountancy with my own business I thought it was now or never and yeah basically I left my job and went off DJing sort of five six nine three we were promoting different nights.
6:03
We put on our own nights, ended up producing music, releasing music.
6:09
Yeah, a fairly decent level, at least for further on than why I thought I would get to.
6:14
But yeah, that was like my full-time job.
