Chris Sullivan
5th March 2015
Sullivan began collecting records and Djing as a 12 year-old young ska-loving moon-stomping suedehead in South Wales in the early seventies and, after a spell as first a Northern soul boy and then a rare funk fan, was DJing in London from 1978. In 1981 he signed a significant record deal with his Latin funk jazz combo, Blue Rondo a la Turk, and in 1982 opened the Wag Club in Wardour Street, which he ran until 2001- DJing, organising nights and booking bands etc. Since then he’s DJ’d at events for the likes of Italian Vogue, The Face, ID and Sade - often slipping off to work in New York, Ibiza, Paris and LA. Today, he has his own radio show every Wednesday on Soho Radio, enjoys weekly residencies in Novikov and the Vinyl Bar and regularly plays the Groucho, the Thirst Bar in Soho and many private events and launch parties. He lives with his good lady Leah, 9-year-old son Finbar and cat Tuesday in West London.
