Greg Wilson – Essential Mix 01/17

Posted on | January 21, 2009 by Mark | Comments

Greg Wilson was one of the first DJs in the UK to mix two records together. He was a resident at the legendary Wigan Pier in the 1970-s and 1980-s. In 1983 he became the first DJ to host a weekly dance music night at Manchester Hacienda. Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV. He stopped DJing in 1984, but picked up his headphones again in 2003, playing at the likes of The Electric Chair, Fabric and Basics to widespread acclaim.
