DJ Jam Workshop at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, Manchester 4 September 2019 Entrance is free

To coincide Eileen Simpson and Ben White’s ‘Everything I Have Is Yours‘, an artists’ film that looks back to the first decade of the UK pop charts, Salford Museum and Art Gallery is hosting a series of free workshops and events for the public to get involved in.

DJ JAM is an inter-generational workshop offering the chance to turn your hand at DJ-ing, with music and beats inspired by a range of genres. The workshop is delivered jointly by El Statiko and Age Friendly Network’s DJ Ged who specialises in sharing music from the 1950-1960s to communities across the North West.

People can come and have a go at using CD-Jays, turntables and techniques such as scratching. Suitable for all ages to come and have a go.
