SIX HOURS • THREE DECADES • ONE DJ

DJ Simon Barwood presents… SIX HOURS • THREE DECADES • ONE DJ In May 1985, at just 19 years old, my career as a full-time professional club DJ began with a residency upstairs at the newly renovated Perth Underground Nightclub.

However, recent events have made me ponder, if not now … when?!? So … a year late but here we go: a completely self-indulgent event reliving my journey through the electronic dance music which defined the eras and the major club residencies that I held over three decades behind the decks.
