Graeme Park - All Day Long
DJ Graeme Park - He really is one of the best in the business…
Last year, when the world was locked down, he smashed a marathon 12 hour “All Day Long” DJ set as a fundraising show for United We Stream GM.
The stream was enjoyed by hundreds and thousands of people all over the world, raised loads of money for good causes and was a standout moment for so many, during such a difficult time.
Since that special day spent in an empty theatre in Bury, we have had SO MANY requests for his set to be restreamed.
So your wish – is our command!
All Day Long will be posted as 4x3 hour sets – mainly because it takes our digital dude ages to load, but to start you off, here is part one and part two for you to enjoy – at home, in the gym, making the Sunday roast -whatever! We are also aware that so many people out there aren’t quite ready to hit a nightclub yet - so if that’s you - crank your smart TV up to max, invite your pals over and have a proper PAP! *

All Day Long was Graeme's longest ever stretch on the decks and gave the vastly experienced DJ giving him freedom to play much more widely than he can in a typical 2-3 hour club set.
He said: “The fact that my audience was online made this quite challenging but when I was asked to do this, I didn’t even think about it and immediately said yes. Getting the opportunity to play for 12 hours sounded like a dream come true to me.
GP in the moment!
“I started thinking about what I was going to play, about 2-3 days before. I wanted to cover lots of genres and include tracks that have inspired and influenced me over the years but it wasn’t until the night before that I started digging out tunes.
“As midday approached and I arrived at Bury Met, I really had no idea which track I was going to start with.In my mind my starting point was always going to be tunes I used to play in the early 1980s at The Garage in Nottingham and with less than a minute to go, I loaded up the Human League’s “Being Boiled” and off we went on a journey without any direction other than my desire to mix up different styles.
GP at The Met Bury - All Day Long
“A journey which I pretty much made up as I went along. A bit like going for as drive in one of my favourite Italian cars on twisty, winding roads without knowing where I’m going to end up. And what a journey it was with hip hop, funk, soul, disco, pop, house and more. I enjoyed myself immensely!
“I got hundreds of messages after the set and even now, well over a year on- I’m still getting comments about it so I’m absolutely delighted the full 12 hours will be on StreamGM for people to enjoy and dance to at home.”
