DJ fight for Jules' crown

MANCHESTER session guitarist Tim Scott is to go head-to- head with legendary Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules in a live DJ versus Guitar competition to liven up the Easter break.

The musical set-to gets under starters orders at The Syndicate in Blackpool, on Easter Sunday.

Tim was so successful the last time he appeared with Judge Jules - at the Radio One Ibiza weekend in 2005 - that he was flown back out to play the closing party later in the year.

Tim was introduced to Jules back in early 2005 through a journalist pal, leading to the collaboration track, Puesta Del Sol.

Tim has subsequently written guitar parts for Jules, one of which the hugely popular DJ has used as the basis for a song on his new album, due for release this summer.

Tim says: "I'm really looking forward to going up against Jules again. It's always great fun."
