Join DJ Paulette for an intimate evening as she chats with musician, author and media personality John Robb about the influences she received from books and libraries throughout her life journey.

They will let us eavesdrop into their conversation on the campus of Manchester Metropolitan University, where Paulette got her English degree.

Winner of the DJ Mag Top 100 Lifetime Achievement Award and voted DJ of the Year (Nordoff and Robbins) Northern Music Awards 2024, Paulette is a highly regarded DJ, broadcaster and now author, celebrated around the world, born and raised in (and still resident of) Manchester.

Over a 30-year career, she has scaled the heights of dance music fame and hedonism playing disco, house and techno to huge crowds and in cool underground basements. Her debut book ‘Welcome To The Club: The life and lessons of a black woman DJ’ published in January 2024 by Manchester University Press to huge critical acclaim.
