Vic's Biography
Vic was baptised into punk and new wave after witnessing his first live concert by The Damned, and as the obsession grew so did the record collection.
On leaving school, Vic chose to live his ambitions and immerse himself in rock'n'roll and its lifestyle. He set out to form a band, get into recording and performing music and also managed to busk his way around Europe for 6 months! He's currently writing, performing and producing music with prog-pop pioneers Deaf Mutes ( debut LP out now - www.deafmutes.com) and punk band Family Man.
Vic also worked in the other side of the music industry - writing for fanzines, working as a venue lighting director in Edinburgh , helping to set up and develop independent labels, and working as press and radio promoter. His journey into Radio was unforeseen, so when prompted to make a tape for this new regional Radio 1 show he obliged and to his surprise, got the job!
Free from showbiz ego and pretentiousness, he also finds himself in the position of doing another new-music show - 'Air' on Radio Scotland . Air happens every Monday and has set out to inspire all those who switch their dial to the show at 8pm every week.
If that wasn't enough, Vic has been co-running a club-night at the Glasgow Barfly each Friday called The Funhouse pulling in weekly crowds of over 400 for more than 3 years. He also likes to get out and DJ in other clubs and student unions across the UK . As a freelance journalist, he does a column for The List magazine as well as occasional work for broadsheet papers.
Vic lives in Edinburgh , likes getting tattooed, eats spicy food and wants World peace...
