Used to play out of a silly bus too.
Used to be one of the biggest ‘stages’, I always thought it was rubbish.
Carnival
Lol. RACISTS
Norman Jay is literally the shittest ‘name’ DJ I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Alex P vom down the side of the DJ booth, mid-set, in Bakers in Britain’s worst city.
Alex P played this too…
Norman Jay was woeful the time I saw him play too. Horrendous
It’s Norman Jay MBE lads.
A little bit of respect please.
SIR Norman Jay. Knighted for services to DJing.
Yeah I agree, he’s dogshit
Chugmeister Bumbaclart, dropping Unfinished Sympathy in the middle of a peak time set.
Jay, not Millsy.
Actually, Millsy too.
Jay was awarded an MBE for services to music Millsy.
I’d much rather listen to Norman Jay MBE play than Millsy.
Thanks Ed
I’ve seen Norman Jay a few times at Carnival and Snowbombing. Have to say he’s not been too bad for me. Party DJ yes - lots of genres. Club DJ he is not. Some tracks he doesn’t mix because they shouldn’t. E.g. drops a dnb track after house or even some soul number.
Saw Norman Jay at The Cross loads of times.
Always useless.
He wasn’t the only Dj playing Alistair.
Seb was on next door.
He comes down to Worthing quite a lot. My friends love him but they do listen to Radio 1
- Edited
Bumped into him in the urinals by the baggage carousels at Terminal 5 arrivals. Globe like afro, trandemark hat. Was about to shake his hand and then thought better of it.
its a great cultural event
Is that Dave Benson Phillips?
Or that happy chef, Ainsley Harriot
Lenny Henry and Dawn French
Ebony and Ivory
To be fair, it looks like a cracking punch - weight nicely on the front foot as he’s followed through - textbook.
Along_the_Wire lol. He twisted her camel toe back to the Sahara with that hay bailer.
Goddamn that punch. lol.
Had no clue this existed, but sounds like an absolute nightmare. When people on here say, “too dangerous”, “the area is shady”, this is all just a euphemism for “stay away from the blacks”, I’m assuming.
BlainSA Some tracks he doesn’t mix because they shouldn’t. E.g. drops a dnb track after house or even some soul number.
Right. So I could basically do that. And, when I saw him, he didn’t exactly play stuff that was blindingly original, he just played tons of records I already have (for example, Unfinished Sympathy as mentioned).
So what’s the point of Norman Jay?
The records I didn’t have were absolute dogshit as well, for example ‘No, No, No’ by Dawn Penn.
At one of the carnivals I went to he played Dooms Night no less than 60 times in a one hour set. Arise Sir Jay of Ledgeland!
Don’t think I’ve ever even listened to Norman J let alone been to see him.
I have actually heard him play Dooms Night.
On the old Space Terrace too.
Same here. At the Cross. Obviously plays it in every set. His own remix
To be fair to him, Dooms Night is obviously bass heavy so works well off a carny float to 1,000 idiots off their beans on Red Stripe and goat curry. Not several times in one set mind you.
