Bit late finding this................
Big Brother winner and
world famous DJ Kate Lawler will DJ at Lush! Portrush, this Saturday.
The venue will be throwing an Access All Areas party with the whole Kelly’s Complex open as one with admission only £5.
Lawler has lived her life in the spotlight since becoming the first female winner of the reality TV show. “It can be funny sometimes,” she laughs.
“I came to Derry a few months ago and the DJ booth was very level with everyone on the dancefloor. No one was dancing, the audience just stood there videoing me. There were camera phones everywhere.
“I didn’t think people would video a DJ, hopefully they will dance at LUSH! I’m really looking forward to playing there the other more established DJs have all been raing about it, they love it there.
“I’ve heard so much about LUSH I’m really looking forward to playing it. LUSH sounds like an educated club in terms of their music.
“I take my music very seriously and I want the audience to do so also.” Kate then laughed adding: “Hopefully no one will ask me have I any R+B anyway.”
It is a busy summer for Kate with several gigs in Ibiza which she is particularly looking forward to.
“I played Ibiza last year, I went there on holiday for years so to play the opening of Eden and then Cafe Mambo was a bit of a dream realised.”
Quizzed on her favourite music the Big Brother winner says: “It has to be a rising, I love house and techno, my set is very varied.
“I like melodic house but I usually drop dark stuff, I really like warped mashed up noises. A lot of people expect a different style but I don’t do commercial house, not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just not my scene.”
Lawler enjoyed massive amounts of publicity on exiting the famous house but it is clear she has mixed memories of the experience.
Having broached the subject she doesn’t want to discuss it.
“It’s not that I’m ashamed of where I’ve come from but it was a long time ago. I’m not even watching this series.”
