Skiddle: The UK's biggest guide to festivals

There's so many amazing festivals out there but it can be difficult to work out which festivals you're going to attend. There's so many things to take into consideration - the location of the festival, the size of the festival, the genre of music, whether it's family friendly and the type of facilities onsite.

Skiddle's new Festivals Finder is here to make the process that bit easier. Simply use the Festivals Finder's unique festival search, which include options allowing you to search for festivals based on filters such as location; month; genres; type; size; accommodation; amenities and even the artists you've liked on Facebook!

Few DJs were actually around in clubs when House Music first made its way to the UK.

Even fewer DJ's have actually played a significant part in House Music's history in the UK.

David Dunne has done both.

He has been described and applauded as “the DJ’s DJ” (Manchester Evening News), “A true pioneer and champion of house music” & “If there’s been a radio station and a pair of decks, he’s been there” (DJ Magazine), “A DJ with no ego and plenty to talk about” (The Big Issue), “A man with a gold star in rocking crowds” (Trust The DJ.com), “A guaranteed crowd pleaser”(BBM Magazine) and “the most deserving DJ to cross over to the premier league” (Radio One). His Dj career spans over 26 years behind the decks, breaking and supporting dance music on Radio, playing in some of the world's best clubs and working with some of the biggest brands and names in music.

He presented one of the very first shows on FM Radio in the UK to showcase House Music, "The Isometric Dance Class" on Piccadilly Radio back in 1988. Since then, he's divided his time largely between Radio and Clubs - He was Head of Music for Kiss 102 and Kiss 105 in Manchester and Yorkshire, helping to break some of the biggest records of the 90's, and then went to work as Head of Music for MTV. As a presenter, he's been on radio almost constantly since 1988, in the UK and around the world. worked for some of the best known names and brands in Music, including, Kiss, Galaxy, MTV, Ministry of Sound and Hed Kandi.

As a DJ, he's played in over 25 countries, for some of the world's best clubs and brands - Space Ibiza, Cocoon, Ministry of Sound, Amnesia, Creamfields, Global Gathering, El Divino, Sankey's, Pacha (London, Ibiza and Munich), Up Yer Ronson, MTV Ibiza, The End, The Arches, V Festival, Bora Bora, Turnmills, Retro, Love to Be, Wickerman festival, Miss Moneypennys, and also at his all-time favourite club, the legendary Hacienda in Manchester, where he appeared over 30 times.

Amongst the more unusual DJ bookings in his career, David was asked to play at Motown's 40th Birthday party in Cannes, at the Brits aftershow in 1997 and at private parties for the Spice Girls, Take That and Simply Red.

In 2005, he finally made his way into a recording studio, where he formed Triple Dee, with long time friend and DJ partner, Andy Daniels. Since then they have produced over 30 mixes and original productions.

In 2010, following 8 years with Hed Kandi, David started a new radio show the Triple Dee Radio Show, which is now syndicated to over 35 stations globally.

David holds down three residencies in Manchester, at Venus, Funkademia and at his new night FOUNDATION starting 11th October at Club NineFour. He continues to play guest spots in clubs around the world.
