You could say that Norman Jay MBE comes from a similar camp, musically as Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge and former Kiss 100 dj Bob Jones. As Gilles Peterson has carved out his Worldwide musical concept. For Norman Jay, it's the Good Times Sound System from his pre-recorded playlist on Virgin Atlantic, to the open top distinctive double decker at Notting Hill Carnival.

Many music fans attend the two day August bank holiday carnival purely to see Norman, and the numbers at Good Times has grown to an estimated 3,000 a day.

Norman has a his own website Good Times.com and has a dedicated page on BBC London - the BBC's local radio and tv station for the capital. Read Norman Jay's BBC London Profile.

Norman describes himself as a house music dj, but the Good Times concept includes classic 70s and 80s funk, soul and jazz funk, previous carnival tracks have typically included Estele's 1980 , the BBC website describes his music as "the cream of 70s disco with the latest club anthems."

He's a dedicated Tottenham Hotspur and was awarded the MBE for services to music in 2002.
