A Taxi Driver writes...

'Ere, I had that DJ Derekin the back of the cab last night. He was off to do a gig at the Blue Mountain (which isn't a mountain, it's a night club). He stood at the front and chatted to some of the girls going to town - "I bet I'm the only DJ who goes to gigs using his OAP Bus Pass!"

They asked him where his records were and he tapped a little shoulder bag -"All on minidisk now"

Why does he use an OAP bus pass in a taxi?

Because it's cheaper than paying the fare.

cheaper maybe but you have to put in years of getting older...65 I think which seems like a lot

is that Derek the DJ for real, man?

Bus pass age is 60.

I love this "wow man DJ Derek man" fame stuff. He's such a local heao, an unlikely star.

I think the media picked up on him a BBC type from Bishopston spent a night in the Star and Garter, did a feature on him for radio and it all took off from there. That was maybe ten years ago.

I spent an evening on YouTube recently (so many ways you can waste your time) and found video of him DJing at a festival.
