Moina Moin, Joicey DJ collective says:

“Joicey DJ Collective is foremost about playfulness and sharing music we love - keeping it fun every step of the way. If you dive straight into the tech it can be quite overwhelming and you lose the fun and the love. It’s not really just about DJing either. It’s also about people - especially women, trans and non-binary people’s confidence, and organically passing on skills and support between peers. JOICEY is connected to SVA as a venue, so you can instantly start practising in a live context. We book DJs from London and Bristol, and local talent playing alongside these acts bring friends along to discover new artists and genres offering a holistic music education on the dancefloor!”

 

Neil Walker, Artistic Director, SVA says:

“This year we’re looking to raise a total of £4000. In order to access the £2000 we have in the matching pot, we need to raise £2000 in online donations. We hope everyone will give generously to help us reach our target and enable us to carry on supporting young people the essential skills and opportunities in music that they feel so passionately about”
