In Welcome to the club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows and lessons of her thirty-year music career, with insights from some famous friends. DJ Paulette will be in conversation with friend and fellow writer Kamila Rymajdo, and will also be answering audience questions.
As one of the Haçienda's pioneering female DJs, Paulette has reached the pinnacle of the music industry, performing for crowds of thousands worldwide. She offers a remarkable perspective from a Black woman's viewpoint, arguing that despite dance music's core values of peace, love, unity and respect, it remains a world rife with exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. Yet, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space teeming with powerful women.
Part personal memoir, part call to action, Welcome to the club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while honouring the often invisible women who keep the rhythm alive.
Copies of the new paperback edition will be on sale at the event, and DJ Paulette will be signing copies in the Rylands Shop following the event.
