[Polaroid By Karen Drayton, with alterations by James W. Foster 2002]  Hang The DJ!

As well as producing visual art and working for an FSA authorised insurance intermediary James also DJs regularly, specialising in rock & pop, normally under his nickname - Foz. Generally Foz likes fundraisers, student events and arty gigs and will not usually consider doing cheesy 'townie' events, wedding receptions/anniversaries or under 18's nights as he did enough of those when he started (aged 14) and gave them up for mental health reasons when he first came to Swansea (aged 19). Most of the time Foz can only be seen djing at his own events organised through Striprock Promotions but he is available for hire for between £70 - £200 (4 hour set plus setting up & any 'extras' like compering acts) depending on the nature of the event. Foz will occasionally do charity fundraisers for a reduced fee but please appreciate that this will depend on how busy he is at the time of the event.
