been fortunate enough to have have DJ'd venues such as The Rex Bar
(Leicester Sq), and also places like Soprano's (Kensington). |

music, and that's how he came into contact with Bully's Boogie Box, As
bass player of Jazz Funk Essex based band 'Sentivo', Jay was invited with
the other band members to come in on Bully's Boogie Box for a interview,
Jay's knowledge and passion for soul music helped the interviewing process
when Bully approached him to co-present on Bully's soul show.

Quay, and has hung out with Roy Ayers. Jay has also been privileged to
