Bad Taste Sessions Radio Boxing Day Special with Mr Pharmacist (Terry McClean)

Terry started DJ’ing in early 1997 and has been running various nights in Omagh (Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland) since late 1997. Around that time he co-promoted a house night called Full-On, with guests including some of the top Irish house DJs (Colin Bass, Paul P, Jay Kay & Eamon Beagon). From 1997 to 2000 he also ran a series of all-nighters in the infamous Attic Bar as well as the chaotic Mickey Disco’s parties.

In September 2000, he launched a Techno/Electro night called Bad Taste Sessions, became resident at Sonic Revolution in Liverpool and won a north west England DJ competition which resulted in performing live on Steve Shiels' (Voodoo, Liverpool resident) radio show The Voodoo Hours on Liverpool’s Juice FM.

Bad Taste Sessions has since played host to the likes of Claude Young, Mr C, Jamie Bissmire (Space DJz), Phil Kieran, Jamie Ball (Turning Point, Rxxistance - Spain), Brendan Long (Bugged Out, London), Colin Shields (Evolution, Belfast), Alan Simms (Shine, Belfast, John Heckle as well as hosting the Voodoo Records tour with long running Voodoo resident Steve Shiels.

Terry's diverse technical talents have produced a range of distinctive sounds varying from tribal grooves to pounding techno and booty shakin’ electro punk. Terry was also part of Mis-Spent Youth, a collaborative effort between Terry and Full On's G-Roc to present a 4 deck, 2 mixer extravaganza.

In 2002 Terry teamed up with Voodoo's Steve Shiels to host Liverpool's newest techno night The Narcotic Suite. In 2003 Terry started a new residency at monthly techno event Vortex in Liverpool

Terry has been invited to play at various venues including, Deep Fried Funk (Derry), where he played before Umek, Voodoo (Liverpool) 3 times, Rehab (Liverpool) Alkimee (Liverpool), Disted Twisco (Liverpool), Evolution (Belfast), Doynk (Belfast), Electric City (Dublin), Primal (Bangor), Relapse (Bangor), Kaleida (Belfast) and twice at Belfast’s Digital T festival.

In 2005 Terry returned to Omagh and opened a graphic design agency but still regularly guests over Ireland and the UK. Alongside this he continues to promote Bad Taste Sessions and his new night Throb.
