'That’s when I really blew up. I started getting so many bookings and that’s when I knew it was the right time to leave.'
Hannah Laing, a 28-year-old DJ and producer from Dundee, is performing in Liverpool next weekend. Specialising in high-energy techno music, Hannah has performed in clubs and festivals across the country.
Hannah was soon spotted by BBC Introducing and ended up performing at the Radio 1 Big Weekend last May. However, she couldn’t give music her full attention as she was still working full-time at her dental practice. The moment that stability came was after a performance at Creamfields last September, which drew significant interest. Hannah said: “That’s when I really blew up. I started getting so many bookings and that’s when I knew it was the right time to leave. Instead of getting one or two bookings a week, I was getting three or four.”
The musician performed at the Radio 1 Big Weekend again on Friday, this time headlining the dance stage in her hometown of Dundee. Hannah remains excited to return to the Invisible Wind Factory in the Ten Streets area after supporting Newcastle DJ Ben Hemsley last May.She is also excited to play in front of a Scouse audience once again. She said: Every time I’ve played in Liverpool before, it’s been crazy. I love the Scousers and everyone has a party.
