Our guest today is a trail blazing DJ, presenter and author who has carved herself a position of love and respect in the music industry that climaxed with a Lifetime Achievement Award from DJ magazine. Ever since she found her way into the DJ booth she has honed her own style, listening, learning and leading. DJ Paulette started her career in her home City of Manchester playing some of the most influential clubs in the history of house. She played the infamous 'Flesh' night at the Hacienda and began to create ripples that became waves that she surfed out to London, Brighton, Paris, Ibiza and the world. Her new book 'Welcome to the club' is a frank and funny look at club culture and the myth of the glamorous DJ lifestyle.

We also take a look at a fabulous new book about Robert Smith and The Cure by Simon Price called 'Curepedia'. It's a monumental coffee table companion for the Lovecats of this world which compiles the A-Z of this most enduring band.

But before we find The Cure and slip into the booth with Paulette, Deb and Eamon catch up with each other and compare their favourite gigs and festivals of the last year. It's basically Iron Maiden Vs Aphex Twin which is an unexpected heavy weight clash that leaves everyone stunned.
