Synopsis

An inspiring memoir-manifesto from one of the UK’s leading DJs, featuring a foreword from Annie Mac.

‘Made me dizzy in a good way!' – Mr. Scruff

‘Incisive, dry, witty and real.’ – Rowetta

‘I loved it, a blazing piece of work.’ – Russell T. Davies

‘This is a magnificent book.’ – Maxine Peake

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.

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 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.
