The Story of Ministry of Sound photo
Join author Simon Moore, DJ and broadcaster Benji B, DJ Paulette Constable and Ministry of Sound founder Justin Berkmann with V&A Curator Harriet Reed for a celebration of the legendary London club and record label that helped transform dance music from an underground scene into a global cultural phenomenon. Drawing on the new book’s rich archive of photography, posters, record sleeves and personal recollections, they will explore the story of a club that put music and movement first, elevated DJs to international stardom, and grew from a South London warehouse into a worldwide phenomenon. Expect an immersive journey through the spirit and legacy of club culture.
