Welcome to Delia Derbyshire Day
Delia Derbyshire Day (DD Day) is a Manchester-based organisation which pays homage to Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001).
Our work is centred around the Delia Derbyshire Archive which is held at the John Rylands Library in Manchester, UK.
We feel this collection is a rich resource for electronic music education and inspiring the creation of new music and art.
We hope you will find here all the information you need about our organisation, our cultural heritage events and our hands on electronic music making activities. Do get in touch via our Contact page if you want any further information.
