    As I've mentioned before, it's a family outfit. My brother does all the driving and he's my roadie/trainee DJ. I was DJing/entertaining for other operators for a good few years before my dad saw the potential in me and funded the business. I'm the DJ and technical skills behing the business.

    ..OK.

    Seems an essential thing to me in this job, but each to their own.

    We know at least another one in that situation, don't we?

    I am learning to drive but it isn't essential to me because I've got a driver in my brother. I've been doing my current role for ten years now and not driving has never been a problem.

    I would say it's absolutely essential personally.

    What happens if your brother is not available?

    Not to mention the extra unneccesary cost of taking a member of staff to every gig, regardless of whether they are needed.

    I must admit I could not cope without driving, especially when it comes to client meetings, venue visits, last minute bookings etc.

    Anyhoo, if you can manage it tomorrow you have my number. I will be going, but coming away early due to just having 2 wisdom teeth (awkwardly) removed. Curry does not appeal at the moment
