Chris Dunn
Born in the United Kingdom 1960, currently resides in Lincoln, by profession I am a Train Driver.
I have a passion for Reggae Music, which I guess came to light in the early 70's hearing artists like The Pioneers/ Bob & Marcia /Jimmy Cliff/ Desmond Dekker/ Dave & Ansel Collins appear on top of the pops or played on the UK'S singles charts. I also at the time worked on a factory production line where everyday music was piped through the works Tannoy system including Reggae/ Soca / Calypso music. At this time, my elder Jamaican friend, Michael Alphonso Smith, asked if I wanted to join him in a venture doing mobile discos, he had the equipment, and I had the transport.
But all was not as it seemed as it turned out we only did private Jamaican House Parties, where I learnt how to DJ from a master.
Eventually I started my own mobile disco and gained a residency at my local working man's club in Penge, South London getting the crowds dancing before, during and after live bands who played at the weekends. Late 80's I packed it in, and it was not until moving to Lincoln and joining the works Wefare Committee that I provided the music at work related events.
In 2012 I joined my local Community Radio Station and presented a 3-hour live 70's show, In 2018
I switched to It being a Reggae Show. In 2019 work commitments prevented me presenting the live show and the station did not want a prerecorded show
