Noel Watson was one of the first DJs to play house music in the UK, spinning at clubs across London in the ’80s, and working in Soho’s fabled Black Market record store.

As part of the September 2014 RBMA Weekender in Belfast, Watson sat down to talk about his pioneering career, Paradise Garage, DJing with the Beastie Boys, and more.
