Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

Involved From/ To: 2007 – to date
Description: Music Coordinator

My first experience of Planet Angel was at the very beginning. I was at Ravelation and came across the lovely Planet Angel team in the Courtyard. I was so taken with U-4-IC that I bought his collection of tapes there and then. 

I was lucky enough to meet up with the founders of the Love Squad (Shelley and Andy) who came up to me and introduced themselves and said they had seen me around and wanted to say hi. I was struck by the friendly people and fantastic atmosphere - I loved every moment of that night and went home with a warm feeling inside. I was then invited to the first party at Imperial Gardens in June 2000 and went along and danced all night long. I have to say that dancing all night long is one thing that I love to do and this was the perfect music and people to dance with - AMAZING. I got close and close to the crew and started my friendship with Pete and Angel which I value greatly.

I attended as many parties as parenting allowed and met my now husband Glenn, an official photographer at Planet Angel, so with that and a combination of my daughter Alice reaching an age where I was happy to leave her, I was going every month! I wanted to get more involved with crewing and started off working on the Front of House crew, welcoming people at the door.

I saw back in 2004 that there was a music coordinator role available and loved the idea of being able to go for it, but it just was not the right time and the lovely Rob Baggs took on the role. Then I found out Rob was planning on going travelling in 2007 and was looking for someone to take on the job! Oh boy, it was like a dream come true, the one job I had always wanted to do and a possibility of me doing it!

I shadowed Rob for quite a few months, loved every minute of it and took on the role of Music Co-ordinator in August of 2007. I love the music at Planet Angel, always have, and feel very proud to now be involved in the music team and our fantastic DJ list!
