Bill Morley

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
DJ in the early 80s at Stranded and resident DJ for Arthurs in Kings Cross. His legend began when he outraged the 1987 Mardi Gras party by playing the ‘Blue Danube Waltz’. His eclectic mix of all sounds remains an inspiration to young DJs. He says he began drawing by studying the shading on the Art Deco fins of Buicks and Cadillacs.
