About this week’s DJs:
Abigail Ward
Having spent 12 years as a counter jockey in Manchester’s most cherished independent record stores, Piccadilly, Vinyl Exchange and Kingbee, Abigail Ward is, to paraphrase James Murphy, a true veteran of the disk-shop inquisition. A trusted picker of tunes for many of the city’s biggest DJ names, she eventually struck out on her own, initially curating a series of unofficial film score compilations under the Big Strings Attached moniker. This led to a long-running listening party of the same name, which for a while took place in a disused church in Harpurhey.
These days she thrives on creating absorbing multi-genre musical road trips that stay with the listener long after the final note has faded. She has curated selections for NTS, BBC 6 Music and Reform Radio and currently holds a residency at The Refuge, where she also co-curates the annual women-focused DJ fundraising event, Suffragette City.
In 2018 Abigail opened up for Doves at Warrington Parr Hall – their first gig in a decade. She says the most important component in music is mystery, and the best songs are those that make you want to pull onto the hard shoulder and weep.
