With a foreword by Annie Mac, the Welcome to the Club by Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs and lows of a thirty-year career in music, with the help of some famous friends. As one of the first women DJs at the Haçienda, Paulette has reached the top of the music industry, playing in front of thousands of people all over the world, and has experienced the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this book, she tells her story, offering an exceptional insight into the music industry from the perspective of a black woman. Behind the core values of peace, love, unity, and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism, and class. However, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space filled with strong women. Part personal narrative, part call to action, 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 alive.
