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 80's. And in 1983 he became the first DJ to host a weekly dance music night at Manchester's Hacienda.
Greg was also 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.
