I do love a “launch night” and this one at Boxcar Fire & Wine in Marylebone was an absolute blast! It was actually a “relaunch”, a rebrand of their previous restaurant, and they’d invited lots of cool people, local people, PR people, industry people, Influencers and a fab bunch of fun loving foodies, to enjoy wine, cocktails and nibbles of their finest food. Their menu is a meat lover’s paradise, best sampled to be believed!

I was invited along to DJ because they loved the idea of “Select & Spin” and giving their guests an interactive music experience to top off their wonderful hospitality. It went down a treat! My record request rack was never empty, as the fun and friendly guests chose hit after hit from my collection of commercial classics. Naturally, I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Boxcar Fire & Wine is a fab place to meet, eat & drink and soak up the atmosphere of marvellous Marylebone. Thanks once again to them for booking me to DJ this special event, I had a ball, the whole team were terrific to work with and I certainly hope to be back again soon, spinning the tracks at a future event. Thanks Boxcar! Watch the Reel here but here’s a few more pics from the night, the glorious guests and the top tunes they chose, making it a night to remember…

Look at those original contols, so cool, you should visit!

How cool it was to be back in Control Room B at Battersea Power Station soon for another launch event, this time for Heartcore Pilates, who have now opened a new studio there. It was fab night, there were so many lovely, healthy people there which created such a nice vibe, that and the music of course! Here are a few photos (including me with my 16 yr old Milo, who helped me set up, he’s my Rookie Roadie!) but I also made a short Reel for Instagram which you can watch here!

Control Room B, awesome venue, and the poster says on the tin what the Vinyl App is all about!

I was so excited to get booked for this particular event, partly because I hadn’t yet DJed at Battersea Power Station, plus I just love a launch night for something new and shiny, there’s always a buzz! When Jordan got in touch looking to book me for “Select & Spin”, he told me the name of his app and how “appropriate” it would be to have me there with my Vinyl Records, it made sense! Firstly, check out this Reel I made of the journey from the underbelly of the Power Station up Control Room B, it was crazy good fun and such a privileged experience!

Thanks again, Jen. Awesome night! You're kind of part of the Vinyl family now whether you know it or not. Roll on our next event... 😎 ~ JORDAN VICKERY, C0-FOUNDER, 🔴vinyl

Control Room B is an amazing place to hold an event, the staff are so friendly and you’re surrounded by the coolest history! Here’s some more photos from the night which was a huge success! (some photos by @thesnapshotpeople)

Oh what a night!! I had so much fun DJing “Select & Spin” at the fabulous @cliftonnurseries in Maida Vale in late November! I was set up in their “Fern Room”, which is one of their event spaces, and it was a glorious evening, their Christmas Shopping Event for the “Friends of Clifton”, and what a delightful bunch of people came to shop, drink and boogie to some great tunes chosen by THEM!!

Clifton is the oldest garden centre in London, opened in 1851, and it’s a little green oasis of picturesque glasshouses, packed with a stylish selection of plants, flowers and trees, as well as a gorgeous tea room and event spaces, right beside Little Venice. Plus, I can’t praise the staff enough, they are an absolutely adorable crew of passionate plant AND party people!

If you haven’t visited, then you must, especially leading up to Christmas because it’s all sparkly right now.

Big hugs to @domenicosgrazing and Darren for booking me.

“I booked Jen & her amazing Select & Spin for our Christmas members event and she was the talk of the evening! An amazing concept that allows your guests to interact with Jen throughout the night and even better is that YOU are selecting the tunes. From start to finish Jen was an absolute dream to work with and I’m already thinking of events I can book her for again!” ~ Domenico Leccacorvi, Brand Experience Manager

I had the absolute pleasure of doing my very first “Select & Spin'“ for Ruairi and Emily at their spectacular Wedding in Oxfordshire.

If Carlsberg did weddings, well Antonia from @honour_and_pop smashed it for the adorable couple Ruairi & Emily. I’m so glad they found me to DJ for them and inspire the new concept of “Select & Spin”. It was a glorious wedding and the best fun I’ve had at a wedding since my own!

So many of their lovely, interesting, incredibly friendly guests got into the spirit and I had a great time chatting about the vinyl with them, in fact, the music nearly ran out a couple of times, I was so distracted! The venue a luxurious @boutiquemarquees in a field near Emily’s family home.

“You were really really amazing yesterday, thank you so much! Exactly what we were after!” ~ Ruairi Keeley, Groom
“Jen exceeded all expectations, delivering an unforgettable afternoon of musical joy, with every track handpicked by the guests. No one wanted it to end, and everyone was asking for more!” ~ Antonia Roskill, Honour & Pop, Wedding & Party Planner

Some of the standout tracks requested ranged from Tina Turner “Private Dancer”, Michael Jackson “Billie Jean”, The Specials “A Message to you Rudy” (Emily’s Dad!), Dire Straits “Romeo & Juliet”, Neil Diamond “Sweet Caroline”, Luther Vandross “Never Too Late”, The Gap Band “Oops Upside Your Head” and Bruce Springsteen “Glory Days”. So much fun because I wouldn’t normally get to play that mix on a normal night!
