DJ SPOTLIGHT Veteran of the UK airwaves, the one they call SheWolf tells a tale of loss, struggle, and finally redemption within the walls of The New Order! Where does SheWolf come from and what is she about? I was born and raised in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, Uk, but moved to Evesham, Worcestershire in 1985, when I got married and where i currently live. I have a son (Stephen) and Daugher (Lauren) and of course my grandaughter (Amelia) who helps out with some of my radio show jingles and even at just 6 years old is developing a passion for ROCK! The town I live in has one decent Rock venue and I normally have to travel further afield for a good Rock/ Metal night particu- larly with the indie artist. I go to as many Unsigned gigs as i’m able to as well as festivals and put on a lot of my own. -----------------------------What am i about! I was given the name “SHE WOLF” by a previous radio station that I use to Dj for because they saw that my passion for Indie music was strong and i needed to do something about this. I felt that I wanted to give the Unsigned Indie artist especially in the UK a voice in the world and to help get their music across, and give it the voice it deserves, whether its through my radio show or other. I knew i had the passion and wanted to do this for a long time, but never had the nerve. I also own WOLF MUSIC PROMOTION, where I work with a team of people that i have chosen for their passion for the Unsigned artist. We find them gigs , interviews and of course airplay. Its a hard enough life out there on the road as it is so if i can help these bands climb their way up the ladder to achieve the success they crave then my job is done! I feel a lot of Unsigned artists these days are exploited by the media as a whole and have to fight for their cause. I do this full time on the basis i have a full time job in the daytime ( non music related). It never evens My “record player” (gosh that makes me sound so old!) was always full of Rock and Metal and i must have driven everybody mad having Sabbath regularly belting out! I think the earliest tune i can recall hearing which got me into the heavy stuff was the classic “smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. I must have driven my parents insane belting Paranoid out as full volume as it would go, which also encourage, the church going neighbours to bang on the wall to turn it down. Did i Listen? .. HELL NO! Maybe in those days i was a complete street wise rebel but Kiss chase with the bad rock boys sure was fun! The songs that bring back memories and what inspired me to be totally addicted to Rock and Metal would have to be Paranoid by of course, the mighty Black Sabbath as What are some songs that they were the first heavy concert i went to in bring back great memo- 1979 (Heaven and Hell Tour) at Birmingham ries for you?
