DJWorkshops.com Jim ReissYorkshire and the Humber ;
I have planned and hosted the DJ and music production section of the Calderdale YOT Summer College for three consecutive years. I worked with Calderdale, Bradford and Batley YOTs on short-term DJ projects or "taster" sessions.
I was one of two DJs who worked in Northallerton YOI running the DJ element of North Yorkshire County Councils "Connect" Programme for young offenders.
I plan and host DJ and music production workshops freelance throughout North and West Yorkshire with groups of NETE, YOT, PRU, and other young people.
