DK - Biography
Who the hell is Dannie Kavanagh?...
Good question, well - if you were wondering who I am, that's me on the right..
I'm an entertainer of 15 years, who currently resides in the small Yorkshire town called Halifax. By day, you can find me at home doing my part as a full-time dad whilst the missus is at work, I'm also usually in the home studio, working on one of my many projects, or by night, you can often find me either behind a DJ stand somewhere playing music to a room full of bewildered clubbers, or in front of the bar enjoying a drink and a chat with the regulars.
I generally play all genres of music, in many different venues, depending on what my clients require, so I could be playing chart music in one place, or upfront dance or club classics in the clubs.
Over the years, my reputation as a club classics DJ seems to have taken over my other work, I've had the pleasure of playing at events such as Retro, Retro:Gathering, and Loved-Up, just to name a few, however I still take bookings for the more commercial circuit, be it party tracks, chart, or classic rock, alternative and indie music.
I've just recently got into creating my own PA's too - mainly for club classics events. This is where I take my keyboard out of the studio and into the clubs, here I play either my own remixes or drop the occasional cover live and implement them into my sets.
I have some radio experience too, as I used to host a weekday regular drivetime show on Halifax's local radio 'Phoenix FM' as well as presenting live broadcasts, some compere work and presenting the occasional video shows for various club nights.
During the day, I also do a lot of design work for various clients, mainly in the leisure industry, this usually involves working on layouts for flyers, in-house magazines or assisting clients with the organisation of their promotions team and marketing strategies.
