I next play at Putney Pies on Friday 28th Feb 2020
The Vault is the under-belly of Putney Pies in London. It is a great venue for a night out you can book a table and have your fill of the amazing pies and then dance the rest of the night away to some great music. With Club DJ’s such as Seb Fontaines, Gary of Hoxton Whores fame, Lisa Loud, Guy Williams ( Pikes resident ), Howard Hill and Jon Sa Trinxa from Ibiza on the rota, it is nice to be asked to play down here every 3 to 4 months. Please be aware that in the vault @ putney pies on Friday and Saturday nights our dj’s start spinning the decks from 10pm, hence the volume of the music will be up. This might not suit everyone.
“House Culture said about Paul – we sit down with some of the most iconic characters from the scene (of 18 people that included the likes of Fatboy Slim, Terry Farley and Danny Clockwork – Paul Linney is a resident DJ at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza and one of the hardest working DJs in the business. Whilst he might not quite have the name recognition he deserves, Paul has played gigs to clued up clubbers all over the world alongside his corporate work at events like the after-parties of the National Television Awards”
What is it about a low ceiling, some open brickwork and a dimly lit room that create the perfect atmosphere for drinking and partying? It seems that boozing in broad daylight is far too socially accepted. Sometimes, we want to misbehave a little or even a lot…..– add a bit of naughtiness to the tipple, as if nodding back to the prohibited age of alcohol. London’s arches and vaults, naturally, seems like a good place to start.
There’s more beneath the crust than meets the eye – you’ll realise this once you visit this little pie stop on the edge of Putney High Street. Underneath the road-level quaint restaurant, which serves up heartwarming and generously filled pies, there’s a stairway leading to a vault beneath the arches by the Thames.
The music choice is mainly House and Ballaeric and the crowd a knowledgeable mix of ages and types, think Pikes in Ibiza but in a cellar next to the River Thames.
I love playing at the Vault and are made up when I was asked to DJ there for NYE 2019. – You can also find me playing at other clubs around the UK and abroad (mainly Ibiza)
Next gig at Putney Pies and the Vault is on Friday 27th March 2020

Alternative 80’s night in Tanzania
Alternative 80's night in Tanzania - While in Zanzibar, I also played at an 80's event. They did not want the normal 80's cheese and chart music but a cooler more club like set.

Zanzibar – Tanzania “Crazy After Party”
Zanzibar - I was invited by Pete Bones DJ and the owner of Red Ant Records to play with him 5 times over 10 days in Zanzibar. The venue was the Coral Rock Hotel Zanzibar an amazing place with great staff who like to party, but also want the guests to have a real experience on the island. Musically the brief for the first night I play was Tech House and Afro/Tribal House, we would be playing after a party being held at the Red Monkey where Cleeveland Watkiss MBE would be performing and we where expecting 200 plus people including Cleeveland all ready to party through the night, which is what happened until 04.00 when the music was turned
Ibiza themed 21st Party in Berkshire
Ibiza themed 21st Birthday Party - I was asked to help arrange a Ibiza themed 21st birthday party at an amazing country house in Ascot. At the planning stage the theme of a Carnival was agreed and the night was to reflect the birthday girls favourite club, the Pacha owned Leos in Ibiza. I was asked to provide a 10,000 watt sound system, club lighting and a projection system for images and photos. The music was to reflect that played at Leo's rather than a mainstream club (with a bit of Pacha's Flowerpower night thrown in for good measure). In the run up to the event, I had three more meetings with the client to discuss
