Initial interview idea

The second practical piece of this course that is required to be done is a three minute edited interview with an individual for presentation on local radio. I have chosen to interview Declan, an up and coming DJ who began DJ'ing properly at the start of university. He has always been interested in music and has mixed songs before university as a hobby but over the first few months he was enabled to DJ at a few clubs starting with 'Patterns' which he now Dj's at every thursday and is paid for. He also has featured on local radio playing some of his mixes before playing at a Ticketed event at 'Concorde 2' where he opened and closed the night. The Brighton scene has allowed Declan to start his career as his regular thursday night shift is a Funk night which would not be found in many other places such as his Croydon, where he lives when not at university. Whether funk is his preferred genre of music or not doesn't matter as it has given him experience into playing at clubs and in the future he is sure to experiment with different genres such as when he played at 'Concorde 2', with it being a garage and grime based night. I believe that an interview with an up and coming DJ who started in Brighton will be very interesting for local radio and he will have good things to say about the City he is DJ'ing in.
