I remember when I went to my first club. I thought it was vast and exciting! I never thought I’d have a career in clubs, but there was something about the escapism that lured me in, I was hooked! I’ve made friends and memories in clubs and bars over the years and I still find myself lured back in! ‘When are you going to settle down?’ I’ve often been asked, well you know what, I am settled down. Whether you work in clubs or go to clubs, there’s such a sense of community that it’s a lifestyle I’m proud to be part of!
