Hi my name is Tony Francis. I started out as a young 14 year old DJ in my youth club then went through the normal progression of mobile DJ then on to pub and nightclub residences and finally I became the outside broadcaster for a local radio station. I have an eclectic taste in music although I have to admit I do love Soul and Motown. I guess after all these years of playing music it’s in my DNA.
