Featuring a foreword from Annie Mac

In Welcome to the Club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows, and lessons of a thirty-year music career, with help from some famous friends.

One of the Hacienda's first female DJs, Paulette has scaled the heights of the music industry, playing to crowds of thousands all around the world, and has endured the lows of being unceremoniously benched by COVID-19 with no chance of furlough and little support from the government. Here, she tells her story, offering a remarkable view of the music industry from a Black woman's perspective.

Behind the core values of peace, love, unity, and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism, and classism. But, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space bursting at the seams with powerful women.

Part personal account, part call to arms, Welcome to the Club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while seeking to do justice to the often invisible women who keep the beat going.
