				JON PLEASED WIMMIN QUOTES
						Jon Pleased visited us for the first time when he played at Slam at the Arches in 1993 and he has always been an amazing DJ - he's like the Bowie of the club scene - changing his appearance and vibe over the years yet always putting the music first - The Visitor played at a Wall of Sound 10th birthday at the Arches recently and rocked it - he's a big name in Glasgow and not everyone knows its Jon Pleased which shows he’s metamorphasised successfully - cant wait to hear the new album.” Slam “I first met Jon at Kinky Gerlinky when he used to scream and run around the corners singing ‘Hey Music Lover’ at me. I think people look at Jon and only see glam but they don’t realise there’s a wealth of musical information inside his mind.” Mark Moore (S-Express) Jon’s always been very musical, and on the verge of being a big recording artist but people mistake Jon for being associated with handbaggy house. He actually has a brilliant musical mind and an ear for the most cutting edge electronic music, but plays it with his theatrical twist.” “Jon defies categorisation, he is very unique with an extremely strong image – he’s now gone for a Bowie-esque androgene look. At the height of Jon’s popularity, he broke down so many sexual barriers in clubs with his sense of humour and intelligence. His influences on the scene should not be overlooked.” Sister Bliss “I had my first ever 'moment' on a boat on the Thames at 5am, and it was Jon Pleased Wimmin who provided the soundtrack. It will live with me forever. His Pleased club was one of the capital's most inspirational and addictive clubs, and his ability to rock everywhere from Slam to Fabric is a testament to his impeccable taste in music. He chose to step off the Saturday night mainstream treadmill, and it's great to see that his new direction is about to make a big impact. He's a true star.” Ben Turner (Muzik founder) back to JON PLEASED WIMMIN menu
