Stag-O-Lee Festival

Prince R-man

The Stag chief. Despite his old age and worn looks the maestro still can get very excited when he hears a great tune. Travelled from the 60s to the 50s with current course to the 40s to dig up wyld and danceable sides. But is not afraid to drop an early Motown hit when the time is right.


Pic: the sweaty one with his fave DJ buddy Sir Bald Patrick!

The rock. Knows the ten best records of every style and drops them when they are needed. Usually dj’s at a few places in his hometown Stuttgart, but it is as a Stag-O-Lee Allstar when he really looses his temper.
