own fliers and played for two hours on his own playing music and
entertaining a crowd by talking and inviting requests"-says
Jack's proud father Bob Hill.

first solo gig was a two-hour set for an outdoor family disco at
the Nook and Harbour bar in Weston-super-Mare, Sommerset, and it
attracted more than 100 people.
Bar manager Chris Kimitri said: "Jack organized
the night himself, making flyers and handing them out to kids at
his school. I think he'll be a big star one day."

with me to gigs, and would grab the microphone when I was working.
The first time I saw jack DJ-ing, I was amazed
by how good he was.
