Dave Haslam

Chinwag’s guests share life stories, experiences, ideas, thoughts, and themselves. Having built a strong following from its inception Chinwag events sell out instantly by going back to basics and embracing the value of talking.

Welcome writer, broadcaster and DJ Dave Haslam. Dave made his DJing debut at the Hacienda in 1986. Ian Brown, Tim Burgess, and the Chemical Brothers were regular visitors to his events there and all have credited him as an inspiration.

Dave's latest book, Life After Dark: A History of British Nightclubs and Music Venues is published on 13th August 2015. There will be copies of Dave's new book available to buy on the night.
