鈥淢ost people in my position wouldn鈥檛 work the doors any more, I just choose to.鈥�

鈥淚 started as a part time barman in the Students Union when I was 18, I鈥檓 not going to tell you how long ago that was. When I started, I said that I鈥檇 stay for as long as I was enjoying myself and that I didn鈥檛 feel older than the students. I鈥檝e had to let the second bit go but I鈥檝e never left, so that must tell you something. And both of my kids have worked for the SU as well.I鈥檝e always enjoyed the interaction with the students, it鈥檚 still one of the favourite parts of the job. We get quite a lot of banter on the door, mainly from the sports teams. I just like to see everyone have a good time and more importantly, keep them safe.

I鈥檝e also looked after the entertainment, we鈥檝e had loads of bands and DJs through the doors and some strange requests to deal with. I remember The Pogues wanting a bath of ice, the ice was easy to get but finding a bath to put in their dressing room, more of a challenge, but we made sure it happened!鈥�
