Dennis Blair is a successful musical comedian/satirist who has appeared on the Tonight Show and on HBO and has opened for and toured with such celebrities as Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Jackie Mason, Tom Jones, Gloria Estefan and George Carlin. Although he has enjoyed much success as a comedian specializing in song parodies as an opening act and a headliner in comedy clubs, hotel/casinos and on cruise ships, he started out his show-business career as a singer/songwriter and has always kept that fire burning.

He started writing songs in Queens, New York at the tender age of 12, both alone and with his grammar school friend John Durkin. He continued in that vein, co-writing songs with John and trying desperately to break into the music business. Together they won the Top 40 category of the American Song Festival with their song entitled “When I’m Loving You”. They also started several bands in their twenties, most notably a band called “Cottonmouth”, which included such stellar musicians as Pete Saladino on bass, Robbie Kondor on keyboards and multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell, who went on to become lead guitarist for Bob Dylan for many years and then to produce and perform with Levon Helm of the Band, appearing in Helm’s biographical film “Ain’t In It For My Health”.

Eventually the band split up and John and Dennis drifted apart. The music business proved a hard nut to crack. Becoming disenchanted, Dennis turned to comedy, skewering popular songs of the day with wicked parodies he would write at clubs where he was performing. This new style garnered him attention as well as laughs, and in 1979 he caught the eye of comedian Rodney Dangerfield who took Dennis on the road with him. Suddenly comedy was his new career path, and he soon found himself in demand, opening for numerous celebrities in 3000-seat theaters and also headlining comedy clubs across the US and Canada. He also wrote the movie “Easy Money” with Rodney as well as two ABC comedy Specials. He was the subject of John Canemaker’s short film, “Confessions of a Standup”, which won an emmy and is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He hooked up with Joan Rivers and Tom Jones for extended tours, until a 3-month engagement opening for George Carlin turned into a 20-year tour as George’s exclusive opening act, until his death in 2008.

Through it all Dennis never stopped writing songs, both serious and humorous, never having given up on his first artistic love. He recorded an album of songs called “I Sleep Naked in the Rain” and continued on his own to write and record the occasional song and jam with friends whenever possible . As fate would have it, after a long period of not being in touch, Dennis reunited with his old friend John Durkin, who had become a successful restaurateur and the mayor of Roslyn New York. On a whim one day, John sent Dennis some lyrics he had been working on. Dennis set them to music, a song (“Water Under the Bridge”) was born, and a songwriting partnership, as well as a friendship, was rekindled.

In the time they’ve reconnected, Dennis and John have written and recorded a plethora of songs, mostly at Bieard Music Group in Nashville TN. Although he continues his comedy performances, Dennis is once again pursuing his musical ambitions. He recently performed a sold-out concert consisting of all original Blair-Durkin tunes at Diane’s Café in Roslyn, and now appears regularly in his singer/songwriter persona at the Composer’s Showcase at the Smith Center in Las Vegas Nevada. He and John are planning performances in New York and Las Vegas and hopefully beyond. In the meantime, and in addition to all this, Dennis performs regularly with his friend and musician Kenny Davidsen on Friday nights at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as guitarist, bassist and singer for the band “Kenny Davidsen and the Approximators”.

Greg began DJing in 1975 and is regarded as one of the most important figures on the UK dance scene. He enjoyed hugely popular residencies in the early eighties at Wigan Pier and Manchester’s majorly influential Legend, having originally started out in his hometown, New Brighton. A pioneer of mixing in the UK, he became the first ‘dance music’ specialist hired for a regular weekly session at Manchester’s now legendary Haçienda club in 1983. Greg was instrumental in breaking the new electronic, post-disco records coming out of New York, a sound he has dubbed ‘Electro-Funk’.

In 2003 he set up electrofunkroots, a website documenting this crucial era in the evolution of dance culture. After a two decade hiatus from the booth, he returned to DJing and soon welcomed bookings throughout Europe and, subsequently, worldwide.

Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV, putting together the first UK radio mixes of their type for Piccadilly 261 in Manchester and showing a certain Norman Cook (later Fatboy Slim) how to scratch.

Nominated by DJ Magazine for outstanding contribution, and also named amongst their top twenty remixers of all-time, Greg’s remix credits include Grace Jones, The XX, Groove Armada, Bryan Ferry, Confidence Man, Gilberto Gil and Simian Mobile Disco, whilst he’s edited tracks by A Guy Called Gerald, Talking Heads, O.M.D., Electronic, Imagination and Missy Elliot.

In January 2009 Greg’s reputation was further enhanced when his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 received almost universal acclaim and was selected as one of 10 classics that spanned the show’s near 17 year history.

Greg’s Blog, ‘Being A DJ’, was launched in June 2010 for observations on various aspects of club culture now an online touchstone for an ever-increasing amount of dance enthusiasts and aficionados.

In August 2010 he co-curated areas at the inaugural Vintage Festival at Goodwood, which was named ‘Best New Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards.

He has produced a series of documentary podcasts, Time Capsule, Random Influences and Early 80’s Floorfillers, as well as the long-running blog series, Living To Music.

Greg has given talks on music and DJ culture at a number events at venues The Tate Gallery in Liverpool and London's Southbank and Institute Of Contemporary Arts, whilst in 2013 he was invited onto a panel alongside legendary figures Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder @ ADE in Amsterdam. 

In 2014 he unveiled the multi-media label Super Weird Substance, focusing on recording and live events. In 2015, the label released 8 vinyl singles, brought together in the 2 CD comp, 'Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance'. September 2015 saw a memorable Festival No.6 Happening in Portmeirion and Greg rounded off the year with the Liverpool-based celebration of the 40th anniversary of his first club date in 1975 as well as being presented with DJ Magazine's Industry Icon award.

Greg launched his Credit To The Edit club collective at 2016's Festival No.6 and since then has taken it to Liverpool, Berlin, Brixton, Bethnal Green and finally back to Portmeirion for Festival No.6 2017.

2017 saw his label host the epic 14 Hour Super Weird Happening at Liverpool's Florrie, following a mixtape collaboration with Alan Moore, who also appeared at the Happening, whilst it also saw the digital release of The Super Weird Society's 'Gone With The Vibe', released the following year on the first Substance Select 12" vinyl alongside 'The Ghosts Of Watling Street', 'The Best Is Yet To Come' and 'Summer Came My Way'. 2018 also saw the release of Vol.3 in Greg's long-running Credit To The Edit compilation series.

After a handful of further releases, the label was put into hibernation with the onset of covid. Diversifying, ‘Greg Wilson’s Discotheque Archives’ was issued during 2020 lockdown as a limited run paperback, with more books, both Wilson’s own projects and by other authors, now planned.
