Very good. He did about 2 hours.
Mixture of answering questions that had been submitted on twitter, talking about how he ended up in entertainment instead of teaching and did a great piece about Oscar Wilde.

One thing that I hadn't known before is that he is an excellent mimic - his anecdotes about Peter Cook were extremely funny & made funnier by his impressions.

No cause the turntables do the work you just change the record.

If you have ever seen a shit DJ you know that what you are saying is bollocks.
Fair enough, the technical aspect of DJing is a massive piece of piss* compared with playing a musical instrument, but the part that not so many people can master is the selection of records and the development of themes etc throughout a set etc.

Your argument is as specious as that decrying practitioners of electronic music as without talent. If your point was valid, anyone could be a good DJ.

Once again your argument is demonstrably nonsense. Perhaps that’s what you are good at – talking shit?

Alt Q - DJing, incontrovertably. I can dance but that's more through practice than talent. Mental arithmetic, although not so capable as I was before I discovered drugs and alcohol.
