A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m “G-man” – ( aka Gregor McPhie) and rocking your party is my thing !
I am 41 years old and have worked professionally in the UK and worldwide wedding and corporate entertainment industry for the last 25 years, starting as a professional entertainer the age of 16. There are very few Scottish venues that I have not performed in. I cater to and have DJ'd EVERY style of music, whether it be 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, Pop, Rock, Metal, Country, Reggae, Hip-Hop, all variations of Dance music and GBX anthems, I'm always happy to create a bespoke event of YOUR taste. I Can also host/ MC and Ceilidh dance call at your event if required.
As a DJ I've travelled the globe to entertain and as a club DJ I have spun the turntables in many Scottish clubs including headline sets at Glasgow’s legendary "Arches" Super Club. This is where I honed the craft of DJing, whether it be cueing up the classics or beatmatching electronic music, adding my madcap microphone antics along the way. I love to get involved, getting the party started and keeping it going, giving your crowd exactly what they want from first dance to final anthem. With the aid of modern technology I've over 90 million tracks to choose from, played on a cutting edge sound system that will rock your event, start to finish. There's a dance floor waiting with your name on it ! Get in touch for a really competitive quote now .... you'll be surprised .... in a good way :)

A self confessed ‘music geek’, I literally eat, sleep and drink music. When not DJing, I am a guitarist and musician and have entertained live audiences of up to 60,000 people, performing in arenas ( including Wembley ) and once performed live on TV to 45 million viewers ( winning many awards along the way ), so I have complete confidence in MCing and hosting, making sure your party will be talked about for years to come.
Musically, I've had a blessed life full of various adventures including; Wedding DJ, Radio DJ, Club DJ, professional guitarist, bassist and singer, music producer, recording engineer, ceilidh dance caller and live sound engineer. All these elements have led me to my job as DJ and all my experiences over the years create the ‘perfect storm’ of experience to make sure your party will be the one to beat. Amongst many other acts and music industry roles throughout my career, I was the original guitarist with the Red Hot Chilli PIPERS and after that toured the world with my own band Bags of Rock.
I have been involved with legendary Scottish dance act The Rhythmic State
for years and when I'm not DJing I produce all kinds of music, from techno to heavy rock and everything in-between, for customers at my studio The HQ Glasgow as well as being a signed dance music producer under the name Hotknife
(click on underlined text for video links).
However, I am working for you, the paying customer, so your wish is my command and bespoke is the name of
my game ! I have no issue sticking with the locked and loaded floor fillers, but I am just as happy to take your lead gonna 'themed' night if that is what your looking for.
As an accomplished sound engineer I can guarantee the best sounding ( and loudest – if you like that sort of thing :)
DJ system around. I also provide disco lighting.

FAQ's
How does it work on the evening?
Venue and meal timings depending, I normally take an hour and a half to load-in and set-up my equipment with the aim of starting at 7/8pm ( I need at least an hour to set up efficiently – but this all depends on room ‘turnaround’ time after your meal ) and access to venue. I will then typically DJ non stop until 12am – the time of most venues' sound level curfew.
What music do you play?
In short – all the floorfillers. As a lifelong music fan I genuinely love all styles but what is important is what the dancefloor wants at that exact time, whether it’s the latest chart hits, disco classics, EDM anthems, classic rock, funk, soul, ballads, hip-hop, house or anything in-between, from the 50’s to the present day. My years of experience as both a wedding and club DJ, allows me to ‘read the dancefloor’, making sure it’s always busy with the appropriate tracks played. I’ll always tailor the evening to YOUR requirements as the paying customer ! Do you for instance want a particular ‘themed’ night ? No problem. I always have an AUX cable to hand incase of bizarre requests from guests ( okayed by yourself first of course ) that they only have on their phone ! For everything else and by the virtue of technology, I can stream over 90 million songs. I generally ask that you send me a list of songs you would personally like to hear ( ideally about 20 or so ) no later than 2 weeks before your wedding and I’ll make sure they’re locked and loaded, ready to hit the dancefloor. As a general rule I always aim to beatmatch all tracks, providing a continuous beat in the style of a club DJ as this encourages people to stay on the dance floor when they're ‘in the groove’ !
ADDITIONAL SERVICES....
*Fancy a full Scottish themed wedding ? No problem at all, I can cover the whole days entertainment, from a piper and drummer greeting your church guests and piping you down the aisle, sound system and wireless mic for speeches and background music throughout the day. A performance from the internationally acclaimed 'The Bag Rockers' see (HERE), Ceilidh Dance calling and of course a DJ set for most of the evening. I look forward to hearing from you !
