At the start of the new millennium Gaz Brooks went from working on a UK building site to promoting one of Ibiza's most successful new nights where he pioneered the 'workers guest list' and became a larger than life character on the White Isle.

Gary Brooks: From Ibiza to Vegas & Back Again

I speak to Peter Hankinson about some of his Ibiza stories & experiences from when he arrived in a clapped van in 1971 up until the present day. From being one of the founders of the infamous West End to opening iconic bars, running restaurants and being involved in some of the major clubs. When it comes to the White Isle there's very few who have such a unique insight and detailed knowledge of the then & now. Essential listening for all connoisseurs and lovers of Ibiza. Enjoy!

I talk to Vicky Devine about her 20 years on the White Isle from tourist wannabe to becoming one of Ibiza's few female DJ's working her way up to be the weekly resident at Judgement Sunday to appearing live on BBC Radio 1...with a lot of twists & turns on the way. It's a fascinating story that takes in the massive changes to Ibiza & the music industry and comes full circle to her present position at one of the world's most famous music venues here in Ibiza. Enjoy!

Vicky Devine: 20 years on the White Isle

I sit down to talk to Michael Griffiths about his time in Ibiza, from the early days in the mid 90's when he was on the inside of Manumission as their resident DJ to his current role at Ibiza Rocks Hotel. It's a fascinating story and Ibiza lovers of a certain age will find themselves nodding their heads to much of it while the younger generation will hear how the modern Ibiza started in 1994 with all roads leading to the biggest night at the biggest club in the world.
