12-year-old DJ hosts rave for pals in toilet block at school

A SCHOOLBOY DJ had his teachers in a spin after organising a rave in the boys’ toilets at school.

Cael Bell, 12, was 30 minutes into his set before staff located the source of the banging tunes reverberat­ing through the corridors.

He had promoted the mini nightclub on Snapchat and it was packed with Year 8 lads buzzing off sugar from Lucozade and Cadbury Twirls he handed out.

His mum Louise, 41, got a call from St Anthony’s RC School in Urmston, Gtr Manchester, to say his DJ gear had been impounded, and he was on his way home.

Louise, who took a picture of him coming in, said: “I had to laugh, I couldn’t stay mad because it was a typical Cael thing to do. He wasn’t doing any harm, he just wanted people to have a good time.”

Cael has been obsessed with DJing since the age of six and spends hours practising with brother Conan, 9.

He has been working with dad Alan, 36, a decorator, to raise cash for his hobby.

He was a DJ at parties at his local community centre in Urmston before lockdown.

Louise said: “I know how much he’s missed it, which is why he decided to hold a rave at school.

“He has lights and a Bluetooth speaker which is quite small but really powerful and smuggled them in.

“It sounds as though most of the year group attended so it must have been quite a sight when the teachers came across it.”

He wasn’t doing anyone any harm, he just wanted people to have a good time
