Bryan Kearney pres. CHAT - EP 16 (with Fergie)

In this Podcast, I speak to Larne's finest export - Fergie.
We talk about his early days in the Northern Irish dance scene, from playing clubs at the age of 14, to having Tony De Vit as a mentor within the space of two years. We talk about the impact that Tony's passing had on not just him, but the whole dance music community. He goes into the highs and lows of being one of the original superstar DJ's, his hard house days, making the move into the techno realm, his days on BBC Radio One, how he has been living and working in Las Vegas for the past ten years and how the pandemic has changed his life for the better.
I really enjoyed recording this Podcast and I hope you do too.
Enjoy.

I grew up in northern Ireland listening to fergie and all the boys and now I'm a massive Bryan Kearney fan great hearing the stories love from Australia

[@hiddenagenda5330]

Glad to hear Fergie talking about X-Ray and the Intelligence setup. They were all over the north and X-ray was responsible for getting me into dance music with some of those tapes which were unbelievable. It was like music from another planet and of course you had to have the Bomber jacket and adidas popper tracksuit bottoms!
The Point Inn was another big influence with DJ Vertigo, Paul P, Colin Bass. No one really mentions that but as Fergie said cant name everything I suppose.

Two legends, Bryan, you should never think you took Barry''s place, you & him would have done it together. RIP Barry & Tony.

Really good interview, Fergie is a great personality. Seen him play in the days of Hotdog in Nottingham and more recently one of his EDM sets at the MGM pool party, always good energy.
