Jo first got into music after watching Millie Small and Marvin Gaye perform on the Mod TV show, Ready Steady Go in 1964 and listening to her brother’s blues LP collection including John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. After inheriting a carrier bag full of Motown in 1967, she began collecting in earnest and bagged a copy of ‘Club Ska ‘67’ on WIRL in 1971 for 25p. In 1973, she landed her dream job and started work in a record shop from where she was kidnapped to work in another rival record shop selling import soul & funk 45’s. Jo’s illustrious DJ career began in 1976 round the back of a pub in Chatham… and it’s been downhill ever since!

Jo continues to DJ and broadcast on Totally Wired Radio with her ‘Run for Cover’ show, has an undiminished love affair with vinyl and runs five vinyl record labels, Ramrock, Ramrock Blue, Ramrock Red + Ramrock Retro and digital house label F*CLR, as well as producing tracks with Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris as the North Street West crew.
