The Sunday Mirror interviewed Gavin about his DJ stint: ROCK star Gavin Friday may have launched his new career as a DJ but you won't see him dancing about for a while. The former Virgin Prunes frontman's record-spinning debut was at BP Fallon's second Death Disco Dublin event last week. Gavin said: "I had surgery on my spine at the start of the year and I was quite ill for a few months.

"I'm upright and that's about it but there's no way I'm able to dance - I'm all right for playing records though.

"I wouldn't call myself a DJ and I haven't done it in public before - only a few parties for friends.

"I've gathered a few records together from the punk era and some which have a punky attitude from other times.

"I like stirring it up - you never know I might throw Judy Garland in there.

"But I know my stuff and I love music and that's the most important thing."
