This is a video promo for Ruth Flowers, aka Mamy Rock, a 69-year old superstar DJ with a taste for electro.

Flowers explains how she got her start:

“It started really when my grandson had a birthday party … they always have a little disco, don’t they, after the party,” Flowers explains.”I went along quite late and the gentlemen at the door said, ‘I don’t think you want to go in there, Madame’. And I said, ‘Well I rather think I do’.”

“I went in and it was very noisy and the lights were flashing, but there was an awful lot of energy and joy.”

While Flowers, a trained singer, was more used to church songs, German lieder and classic pop, she was so taken by the party that she decided there and then to become a disc jockey.

Flowers seems to be comfortable working her age as a gimmick.

And why not? She now has a Flash site, a MySpace page and is keeping busy with gigs in France.
