Inverness club chief Ally MacLeod has revealed he’s spending £5000 on a private jet to bring Peter Tong to his club *Motion, whisking the Radio 1 star from Stansted to the Highlands venue.
Press reports revealed that £1,000 of the fee will go towards keeping Inverness Airport open two hours later than usual so Tong can kick off his midnight set just three hours after finishing his Essential Selection show. “It is some coup to get one of the greatest dance DJs in the world to Inverness,” the club boss told the Daily Record. “But I never thought I would have to go to such lengths to make it happen,” he added.
Chatting to the Daily Mail this summer the British superstar DJ labelled his preference for private jets a ‘crippling vice’ while in May he complained about loathing budget airlines because of their ‘late departures, overcrowding and trips out of Luton airport’. Because of who I am, I’m ALWAYS going to get grief from beer-ed up blokes whom I’ve gotta’ sit amongst for hours on end,” he told One Week To Live. “For me that’s quite uncomfortable.”
Motion’s Saturday night headliner Eddie Halliwell will have to take his mixing-with-the-masses chances, however, the Daily Record added, revealing that Tong’s Radio 1 colleague will be ‘travelling economy class on (budget airline) FlyBmi.’
